We have often heard Ledion Liço say that this third edition of "Big Brother VIP Albania" has broken viewership records, but the technology expert, Besmir Semanaj, does not share the same opinion. Through a status published on Facebook, the expert says:
"Propaganda, desperation and numbers that are stubborn. 25% becomes 200%. This year, I have not followed "BBVA 3" almost at all, as the content on social networks is very little and my time is limited by work. Today I read an official news on the Top Channel website, which said that this year's viewership has doubled last year's. Since I'm skeptical of news without numbers, I thought I'd do some verification. I see Top Channel as a serious medium and I have been invited to their studio many times. I read the news with pleasure, but I was disappointed when I verified the figures", says the expert.
Further, it follows:
"In Google and YouTube searches, two of the most important indicators for following and evaluating a program are in the figures of 25%, compared to last year and with a downward trend. Unfortunately for Top Channel, they haven't even passed "BBVA 1" yet, while "BBVA 2" is currently being watched with binoculars. I believe that these statistics are useful for Top Channel to understand the reality".
Besmiri adds: "If they make every news like this, God save us. PS: YouTube videos and Instagram posts are averaged per post, if you want a comparative result.
Now, let's take a look at the numbers on YouTube, to make a comparison between "BBVA 2" and "BBVA 3":
We start with the full episodes that are watched on YouTube.
A year ago, around 740,000 people watched the full episode of "BBVA 2".
On February 6, 2024, the audience reached 429,000 followers.
Video from moments inside the house:
Albi Nako's clarification with Romeo Veshajn: 82,000 hits.
Luiz's welcome to Tan Brahim: 435,000 hits.
It should be noted that it still takes some time for "BBVA 3" to capture the audience with stories and dramas, as well as the "time" effect. A full year has passed since "BBVA 2", which means more opportunities for clicking old videos.
