“The TOTS is logged on Disney Plus whenever a viewer stops watching a particular movie or television episode.

I’ve assumed this for a long time. Streaming has made every household a “Nielson” household. And my assumption is that if they know what you are watching, they know the exact moment you turned it off. It’s why I will always stop a “mildly” interesting youtube video when the commercial comes on. And I do the same with streamed content. Men kissing? Video stopped.

Etc.

I’m sure they are tracking this kind of thing. Marketing types never throw away data, never skip an opportunity to collect data. A friend verified to me that YouTube tracks not only if you like/dislike a video, but how long into it you click the up/down button. Early “votes” don’t weigh as much in their algorithms - I guess assumed to be automatic, people liking it based on the channel or the premise not really the content. Votes near the end count for more, assumed to be based on what you saw.

Roger that. No “streaming” but pretty sure my fire stick lets someone know when we move on. They may not know why we did but can probably speculate and check the anti-gay/anti blm/anti democommie(whatever applies) box. We just don’t want to see it. Just like no one wants to see me and................ Never mind. :-)

I think your right. Too many choices out there.
