Wait, that's 38% of the US population. That's actually way less than I would have expected with how much it's hyped online.

I mean getting more than a 3rd of the population to watch anything at the same time is pretty much impossible at this point. The Superbowl in the US is the closest thing to a unifying cultural moment but the monoculture still continues to fade.

I wonder if that counts those of us who watched it after the fact on the official YouTube posting?

That actually seems really high to me.

Thinking that's low is insane. What other thing can you get more than 1/3 of the nation to participate in? Personally, I didn't watch it, and I never do. From my perspective, 1/3 seems high, not low.

It typically costs to watch it. I saw it live from Nashville's local Hispanic channel though, only by chance did I see it, and thought it would go off right when the game started. I still have no idea how they got the Super Bowl for free.
