Just turning on your television isn't likely to give TTG "views". Watching it on the Internet or Hulu/Netflix/whatever might (I know Steven Universe is available on Hulu). If you have not been selected to provide Nielsen ratings, or if there is not some other form of telemetry being sent and sold from your smart TV, then nobody knows what you watch on broadcast or cable television.

As most of us are aware, the Nielsen rating system is terrible and outdated. Steven Universe probably exists late enough in this century that it won't be tanked just by poor Nielsen ratings, since Cartoon Network and others take into account streaming media to a greater degree than ever before.
