*League Engagement by the Numbers

[Troen]

The other big outlier week to highlight here is Week Fifteen. There is a huge dip from the prior week and less watch time, with a huge resurgence the next week. Now, without context, this seems concerning. But when cross-checked with the schedule, this makes perfect sense. Week 15 was the end of S21. This means that there were only two streams this week, for the Conference Championship Games, and the Ultimus and Ultimini games. An average week during the season has 5 streams, while this week had only two. No need for alarm!

I suspect that rather in addition to total hours watched, average percent of broadcast watched could be informative (hours / viewers / length of broadcast). Or, including the length of the broadcasts directly could give more context to those metrics such that the total hours watched dropping when the broadcast length drops would be more directly noticeable.
