re: Peacock wildcard game was the most-streamed live event in US history

Again, if it didn’t drive new subscriptions (and it seemingly didn’t), then this is a pretty moot point.

Where are you getting that from? Honest question.

Yes, it was the least watched game. But considering it was only on a pay site, it's pretty crazy that it got 23 million viewers. As stated, the most streamed live event ever. Was also responsible for the most internet usage ever on a single date. Consumed 30% of the entire internet usage for that time period. That's crazy.

I don't think it is reasonable to expect it to out perform the other games that were accessible to anybody that could hook up rabbit ears to their TV. But it was a success for doing it for the first time ever. It's not going to be the last time they do this either. I didn't like it and didn't sign up for Peacock, but it was no doubt a successful first attempt.
