Gosh, we haven’t got long to go before Nick’s number 1 show falls into 6-digit ratings. I don’t think there’s any saving them financially.Now I don't know if this is accurate seeing it is from the SpongeBob Wiki, but it has been said ChefBob was a series low in rating with only 1.04 million viewers tuning in. Man, that's sad.
Yeah I suspect that most people watch on nick.com or... on an illegal website/downloading an illegal torrentKlu said:TV is dying, guys. SB is doing fine, especially if you compare SB ratings to ratings of other ongoing cartoons.
I don't know if laws should be more strict on those, I mean it could possibly break a channel.Rocky Lobster said:Yeah I suspect that most people watch on nick.com or... on an illegal website/downloading an illegal torrent
Only thing is is that they are hard to track down, plus I read somewhere that the website's IP changes at times. For torrents, it's even harder considering if people use a VPN to download them, they won't find out.FinnDinner said:I don't know if laws should be more strict on those, I mean it could possibly break a channel.
Yeah they use their own VPN connection, which is exactly the reason they can't find people who swat streamers. I still think it's wrong to do that, but yeah it's hard to track it down.Rocky Lobster said:Only thing is is that they are hard to track down, plus I read somewhere that the website's IP changes at times.

Well, all the kids who watch SpongeBob probably don't know how to do that kind of stuff. Plus, Viacom takes anything SpongeBob-related not from the YouTube channels of their subsidiaries down fast. There could still be some out there, but if Viacom happens to find it, it's going down. Still don't know how those YouTube live streams of SpongeBob and other Viacom IP's like South Park and the Fairly OddParents are getting away with itFinnDinner said:I don't know if laws should be more strict on those, I mean it could possibly break a channel.
I think it's because there's this automatic way to take them off, and since they zoom in the animation and change the pitch, they can get away with it. I think Nick has done it, and it's perfectly fine like it is.IAmAGoofyGoober2004 said:Well, all the kids who watch SpongeBob probably don't know how to do that kind of stuff.

Yeah, those usually work, some live streams though have the pitch normal and it's not zoomed in it all. Also, all they ever stream is Season 9b-11 episodes, is it because they're new or... what?FinnDinner said:I think it's because there's this automatic way to take them off, and since they zoom in the animation and change the pitch, they can get away with it.

Yeah, most people haven't seen those episodes, so more people will watch them. Works the same for Family Guy or American Dad streams.IAmAGoofyGoober2004 said:Yeah, those usually work, some live streams though have the pitch normal and it's not zoomed in it all.
