I figured I needed to know him better, so I thought maybe others would like to as well.

Most of the BB posts did not do well. These two did the best:






James Cordon is amazing. He learned to sing BB Spanish songs!

The fact that a SB halftime show is a topic of politics is just a sign of the chaos of our times.

Are you ready for some football!!! ☮

Set top viewer data. There is too much room for abuse. There are several laws again it. Nielsen does its own independent research. They either they ask a household to keep a diary of their viewing or they attach a device to your set.

I assume Verizon will sell their mother for the right price. I say this as a substantial shareholder from 43 years of management employee stock purchases.

I asked about their selling and got this result

Yes, Verizon provides viewer statistics and insights related to cable TV audiences, which can help in understanding viewing habits and preferences. This data is often used for advertising and marketing purposes.

Verizon and Viewer Statistics
Data Collection
Verizon does not directly sell viewer statistics from cable TV viewers. However, they do collect data on viewing habits through their services, which can be used for internal analysis and improving service offerings.

Nielsen Partnership
Verizon collaborates with Nielsen, a leading audience measurement company. This partnership allows Verizon to access aggregated viewing data, which helps in understanding audience preferences and trends across various platforms, including cable TV.

Advertising Insights
While Verizon may not sell individual viewer stats, they provide insights to advertisers based on aggregated data. This information can help advertisers target their campaigns more effectively, leveraging trends in viewer behavior.

Summary
Verizon collects viewing data for internal use.
They partner with Nielsen for audience measurement.
Insights are available for advertisers but not individual viewer stats.

How does Verizon use cable TV viewer statistics for advertising purposes?

What are the privacy implications of selling cable TV viewer statistics by Verizon?
Verizon's sale of cable TV viewer statistics raises privacy concerns as it involves the collection and sharing of detailed consumer data, including viewing habits and personal information, often without clear consent. This practice can lead to potential misuse of sensitive data by third parties, increasing the risk of privacy violations and exploitation.

I am not a sport's fan, so I will not watch any of it. If you gave me a million dollars to name one team who is playing, I would have to Google it.

It's not my kind of music, but I'll be watching tge game so no reason not to watch the halftime show.
I saw Flo-Rida on MTV Live and enjoyed it more than I expected. Maybe this will be the same.

To see if ICE crashes it and arrests him.

Don't let them tell you otherwise.
