Spoiler alert: YOUR TELEVISION IS NOT MONITORED!

Unless you are participating in the Nielsen Ratings, or any other voluntary media consumption survey, NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE OR ARE NOT WATCHING.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOUR TELEVISION IS TUNED IN TO.

IT DOES NOT AFFECT RATINGS.

Now then, if your main method of media consumption is the internet, that’s a different story. Your view will be counted if you watch the inauguration online. On the flip side, it won’t matter one way or the other if you do or do not watch something else.

I say just don’t watch it and leave it at that. But if you do, watch it on your TV, not your computer. Your TV isn’t being tracked. If you’ve ever been a part of a media study (I have personally done the Nielsen Ratings and some other one I’m technically not supposed to talk about) you’d know that it takes more than just tuning in to record your media consumption. I’ve had to set up devices and wear a faux pager to monitor my media consumption, as well as write down what I’m watching.

THAT’S how ratings work.

Please stop spreading these lies.

Seeing this going around and like the above person said, it’s inaccurate.

Y'all have to stop believing at face value photos of text with scribbles on them on the Internet.
