His first show brought in over 26 million “video views,” which is a Twitter metric that records a view as anyone who watches a video for more than 2 seconds. While the metric’s reliability has been questioned, it has nevertheless declined significantly since the show’s launch, with Carlson’s most recent show only getting 3.8 million video views, marking a drop of 86 percent.

Delicious. Thanks for some good news today, I needed it.

I wish I could see the viewer retention graph for a video, I'd bet most people aren't making it even 10 minutes in to an episode.

I think people on Twitter (especially on smartphones) and people watching TV have very different attention spans in the first place.
