People were looking at the sky when they normally would be watching their screens.

Never underestimate the power of the moon.

The solar eclipse on Monday that was visible across the United States stopped people from working enough to get outside, socialize with strangers, and stare at the sun using the appropriate retina-saving gear. By extension, this meant that a good chunk of people were looking at the sky when they normally would be watching their screens.

That evening, long after the celestial event occurred, Netflix assessed its viewership and noticed something funny. Its numbers were down during a specific portion of the day. The percentage was so large that the streaming service shared its findings in a couple of tweets:

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 US (@netflix) August 22, 2017

but really, there was a 10% drop in plays during the eclipse today. Well played, Moon — Netflix US (@netflix) August 22, 2017

This is the closest that Netflix has come to releasing viewership numbers. The streaming giant accounts for more than 50 million subscribers, more than the country’s largest cable company. A 10 percent drop is significant. Disgruntled Twitter users offered some unhelpful counter-programming advice such as renewing “Sense8” for a full third season instead of just a wrap-up movie or calling for the return of shows like “Bob’s Burgers” or the pickup of shows like “Hannibal.” Really, this amounted to viewers treating this tweet as if it were a customer service call:

Give us #sense8season3 & maybe we will skip the next eclipse🌈🌈🌈but you gotta make it worth our while! pic.twitter.com/MFv6BfMTL0 — Shanna Talley (@Oracle1313) August 22, 2017

Maybe you should put bobs burgers back on and we wouldn't have this issue 🤷🏻‍♀️ — Clarissa (@MuozClarissa) August 22, 2017

well, if you had produced the fourth season of Hannibal I would've watched you. #SaveHannibal — Vee ☀ SaveHannibal (@writingvee) August 22, 2017

Cuz that rock doesn't cancel our favorite shows — Mallory (@acltearjerker) August 22, 2017

Maybe if you stop interrupting my shows to ask if I'm watching them why don't you make that an option in our settings? NOBODY WANTS IT. — Rachel Stewart (@RStewartJewelry) August 22, 2017

Of course, Netflix also could’ve created live-streamed eclipse coverage, which many other networks and websites were wise enough to do. PBS even had eclipse programming opposite the presidential address.

The huge turnout for the eclipse shouldn’t have been a surprise. This was literally a once-in-a-lifetime event for many since this is the first time in 99 years that a total solar eclipse has spanned the United States. That’s a live event that can’t be beat.
