Netflix wants to be more transparent in its metrics. Starting this Tuesday, the video streaming platform will show the entire public on the internet its most chosen titles by hours viewed and not by the number of accounts that chose the content, as the company reported in the past.
“We have received a lot of feedback on our metrics over the years. So a few months ago we reconsidered the situation and today we are excited to launch the top 10 on Netflix, a new website with global weekly lists and by country with the most popular titles on our service ”, Pablo Perez De Rosso says in a letter, Vice President of Strategy, Planning and Content Analysis at Netflix.
The Top10.Netflix.com website will be updated weekly every Tuesday, with hours viewed from Monday to Sunday of the previous week for Netflix original and licensed titles, an action that occurs in accordance with the latest letter from video platform results.
