“30% of viewing” I think clearly means either time played or items played. I’ve never worked with a data team that would possibly write that and mean users.
If it was a stat about users they’d say “of users”, “of members”, “of active watchers”, or similar. If they wanted to be ambiguous they’d say “has reached 30% adoption” or something.
I am not in data science so I can not validate your comment, but 30% of viewing I would assume mean users or unique/discreet viewing sessions and not watched minutes. I would appreciate it if Netflix would clarify.
Agreed, but this is the internet, the ultimate domain of pedantry, and they didn't say it explicitly, so I'm not going to put words in their mouth just to have a circular discussion about why I'm claiming they said something they didn't technically say, which is why I asked "Where did it say that" at the very top.
Also, either way, my point was and still stands: it doesn't say 30% of devices have hardware encoding.
