>>111695123it's more complicated than that
sg season 1 was getting ratings WAY higher than it should've had, that show premiered to around 8k mills, none of the cw superhero shows premiered to that many viewers.
the only cw capeshit show that is doing good is the flash. black lightning, supergirl and the arrow are all dropping ratings season after season more or less regardless of quality or politics, batwoman season1 is doing about as bad as black lightning season 2 did(the dropping is almost the same if you count for the big ep2 drop most shows have)
i think that with the boys/umbrella academy/titans/doom pat/etc cw shows are simply not really worth the time anymore, you can get your live action capeshit from other, better sources, the arrowverse is more or less donezo.
also iirc bw got about twice as many imdb reviews in its first episode than supergirl did in its first season, while having like a tenth of the viewers and little to none of the political bullshit.
