  - Plus you can just have Hamilton on in the background, and not actually need to "watch" it. -- nm - MDH Sep 17, 18:50 1
    - Relatedly: I just realized each week Streaming into the Void should have a different SlackerGay as a quickie guest to talk about Peacock. -- nm - Qale Sep 17, 19:10
- "SVOD works. PVOD does not." What a dumbass thing to say. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 17, 18:45 6
  - He replied to my tweet. In terms of purchases, he says "The real number is sub 3". I'd like to know his source. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 17, 19:04 1
    - And dismisses a more accredited firm for saying 9 million. He’s a lightweight who believes in hot takes. - David Sep 17, 19:23
  - While I think it's a generalization based just off of Mulan, the data for the rest of the PVOD releases is interesting. - MDH Sep 17, 18:49 3
    - Trolls World Tour made bank off PVOD. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 17, 18:51 2
      - Exactly, that’s what my IM says. -- nm - MDH Sep 17, 19:03 1
