Your stats show that the show dropped off after the first two episodes were released by 25%, and sustained that drop until the end of the season (exactly like I said).
Amazon had to literally turn off their rating system because they were worried about the tanking ratings viewers were giving it. They invested a ridiculous amount of money and viewers were giving them bad ratings 😂

This article says what both of us are saying. Yes, it was successful in some regards but it hard a tremendous drop off that never caught up to itself. The rating are also surrounded by asterisks because Amazon does not release its streaming data and they are hazy about their statistics.
‘Still, this pattern suggests “Rings’” audience shrank as the season went on, with little catch-up watching by new viewers taking place midseason. Even when viewing time rose again, it failed to reach the heights of the series' initial weeks of release. The steeper (around 20%) dropoff from its first two weeks also suggests many viewers who checked out the series early on didn’t continue watching it — not a great sign for its growth potential.’
