But isn't that really a function of the different types of programming? Winning Time has two seasons with a total of 17 episodes - viewers ideally should be giving it some attention while they watch it 90 Day Fiancé has 9 seasons and a total of 115 episodes (to date) - viewers can easily be doom-scrolling, folding laundry or doing the dishes while it plays in the background
Given that a lot of these self-selected rankers are just based on hours consumed, then shows with vast numbers of easily digestible episodes that can act as a kind of audio-visual wallpaper are always going to do well. And I wouldn't be surprised if some random episode of Gold Rush regularly gets more viewers in its first week than whatever prestige HBO Sunday night drama is on air (Game of Thrones and its spin-offs excluded).
