Last time someone asked that, the official answer was it was based on the current global popularity of a show.
That’s why it might not always correspond to the list of most popular shows that week. First, that’s a weekly average. And second, it’s country-specific.
I don’t know. I mean, why wouldn’t this show be super popular? Chinese shows are huge. What I was told once was that a high percentage of people watching Chinese shows on Viki are watched without subs.
Yes, the Chinese volunteering community on Viki is small and they are under pressure. But it’s not the first time. And misunderstandings with regards to subbing are always going to be there because of the way the subtitling process on Viki works (video being released for the audience before the Eng subs are done).
