I totally support this Nafisa. Tellybuzz is a great source of entertainment and info. but considering that as a parameter for ranking would be rather a certain form of bias. There are many shows which might have a great viewership and following but the show as such in terms of tellybuzz articles etc. might be quite less.
Let me give you the example of my favourite show,CID which airs on Sony every Fri and Sat. 10 PM !! This show has been a treat for it's fans to watch since the last 15 years, and in one way the pillar,backbone for the channel Sony. Even during it's dimmest phase, Sony saw it's survival because of this show which has a varied audience from kids to the elderly, who no matter what make sure to watch the show every time it's aired. Even in the CID forums, active discussions take place about the show, and IMO it's one of the most active forums, The actors who have been working hard for such a long time and continue to give their best are highly respected by the members there but when it comes to the no. of articles that come up regarding the show, any small bites or other things, not much has been seen about the show.
There are very few or I can rather say next to rare in the no. of articles that are posted about the show, but that does not mean that the show is a dull one or its forum isn't that active.
Ratings should be based on viewership and activity in it's forums and should not include tellybuzz articles. There are many shows which are daily and are continuing ones, thus there's always a greater chance and frequency of articles being published on them but there are other shows too which might have a high viewership rate, still they lack behind in terms of rankig because these shows might not have so many articles being published about them because that's tough.
So I totally support your point of view that Tellybuzz articles should NOT be taken into consideration when it comes to rankings. If it has to be then it must be made sure that equal no. of articles are provided about each show every month which definitely isn't easy so I'd say that Tellybuzz articles must be removed while considering the rankings 😊
