There are so many other things to do in life than watch a declining TV show. You're asking what ONE thing that they're doing at a specific hour of a specific day and you're being told that people are doing a variety of things. One Monday they might talk to a friend. Another Monday they might play video games. A third, they might read fanfic. Etc. etc. etc. It varies. But you're refusing to accept this and keep arguing "what tv show are you watching INSTEAD of TW" despite being given an answer already. Teen Wolf's problem isn't that there's better competition on at the same timeslot. Its problem is that its internal consistency sucks and people have given up on it for its own sake. Not because something else drew their attention away. Because they'd rather watch paint dry than watch another episode of this self-indulgent train wreck of a show.

You've asked your question over and over again and you've had it answered. The fact that you refuse to accept the answer is a personal problem of yours, not of the viewer base, either casual or fanatic. People are not watching Teen Wolf because it's not good anymore. End of story. They're not even using alternate viewership methods as much. The social media/twitter ratings are down as well as the Nielsens. Those who do use alternate methods, have found other shows, but not necessarily at 10pm on Mondays. Alternate viewer streams aren't schedule bound like that.

What I see most of on my dash these days is In The Flesh. That seems to be the newest fandom darling that people found over the summer. Orphan Black and Orange Is The New Black too. Again those shows are primarily watched alternatively. So instead of torrenting TW, they're torrenting ITF & OB and OITNB.

But you're committed to confirming your hypothesis regardless of the data returned to you. So any answer that a fan gives you falls on deaf ears. If you bothered to READ the comments on this issue on this very blog, you'd have your answers. Again though, you're more interested in making ableist insults and acting like you're superior to everyone else in fandom.

Teen Wolf viewership and social media buzz is down by all metrics. The reason isn't the fault of some other show stealing its audience or because people suddenly discovered torrents (which have been popular since TW's inception). It's because people are TIRED of TW's and Jeff's bull.
