Reply to comment by KumagawaUshio in Is Seinfeld kind of a flop for Netflix? by BitterEditor22

"beats Wednesdays 18.6 billion minutes"

Yes but also 1 year of Seinfeld vs. 2 months of Wednesday

i think, in a way, it's the point, Seinfeld is never (or hardly ever) in the top charts, but it's watched a decently a lot the entire time, meanwhile shows like Wednesday, Squid Game, Stranger Things, etc, will have huge numbers for 1-2 months, but later on will fall a lot (once everybody is done watching).

And how many minutes will Wednesday get 3 years from now when it’s not the new thing?

Cuz Seinfeld will still be racking up those numbers.

Season 2 will definitely get more than season 1, and I'm sure numbers will still go up plenty over time.

My point stands. Seinfeld will have far more minutes in 5 years time.

It’s cool if you disagree. Wednesday is a hit right now, but unlikely anyone will care about it a couple of years. Seinfeld has stood the test of time.

Seindfeld has consistent viewership its going to be just as viewed in 2023 as it was in 2022 while Wednesday will need to wait for a second season.
