I agree with your comment in general but just wanted to be nitpicky over this part (this is HN after all)

> probably more than 2x all of who have ever seen game of thrones (16 million is their highest rating ever)

I don't think that's an accurate measure for GoT as it's probably the most pirated TV show ever, that 16 million figure you quoted is people watching on HBO only. Those of us outside of the US either watch it on a different network (e.g. Sky in the UK) or just pirate it.

GoT would have a huge figure if hbo did international releases via Netflix. DC released Titans on Netflix international. I saw heaps of people streaming it on their phones via Netflix on the train. If GoT was on Netflix I suspect piracy would drop a lot (not completely cos people will always pirate)
