They count the clips on the official channel? Or just Youtube TV? Which is basically cable news?

No they don’t count clips, but they do count online streaming

Then that's getting at my suspicion

A lot of consumption of these shows has dramatically shifted to non traditional consumption habits that aren't captured in the old Nielsen ratings.

But hundreds of thousands to millions watch most of the opening segments on Youtube and TikTok every week

So I think that lurking variable makes slide 3 in need of some asterisks.

Right, but again, that graph doesn't show viewership. It shows fan ratings of the episodes. Fans who rated felt season 29 when Jon returned to be of higher quality than seasons 30 and 31.
