Netflix viewership dropped significantly during the total solar eclipse
While the solar eclipse drew massive crowds and a bare-eyed President Trump outside to witness the rare event Monday afternoon, Netflix viewership took a significant hit.
According to the streaming service's U.S. Twitter account, Netflix plays dropped 10 percent during the eclipse.
"Hey, just wondering why 10% of you chose to watch a giant rock cover a giant ball of gas when I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR YOU," Netflix tweeted. The account added, "but really, there was a 10% drop in plays during the eclipse today. Well played, Moon."
In addition to losing viewers to the momentary eclipse, Netflix may also have lost some long-term viewers to eye damage.
Google searches for "eyes hurt" reportedly spiked following the eclipse, and notable people — including Trump, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. — all publicly demonstrated the incorrect, retina-burning technique of viewing the eclipse without special glasses.
