They have watched it for me so that I don't have to and I am about to do 
that same favour by watching the season finale of Doctor Whoke.

Let's expose the Disney lies shall we.

6.8 million is for the first 2 episodes, thus each episode only got 3.4 
alleged views.

The number of views is over 7 days, thus each episode only got about 0.5 
million views overnight.

There are YouTubers who get more views than that and they don't spend 
$250 million on their channel to get them.

Disney+ over promoted this woke crap and forced most of their dwindling 
subscribers, only about 10% of what they claim are actually active 
paying subscribers, to watch it. Thus most subscribers only watched it 
for 10 seconds and then turned it off as it was not for them. It's only 
being made for lesbian feminist fascist bigots.

So in reality only 1% and probably less watched each episode all the way 
through. This gives the first two episodes an overnight audience of only 
5,000 viewers each. Still better than Doctor Whoke but totally crap.

Why do you think The Acolyte is not in the Nielsen ratings?

The facts show it couldn't have possibly got anywhere near that since on 
BBC America it was only getting 100,000 views overnight when Whittaker's 
run ended. Even at it's height under Matt Smith the best ratings it 
could achieve were between 1 and 2 million.
