I always wonder how the USA Network views the 24/7 Title situation since it was one of their ideas to counter ratings sliding - and it plays great on social media but hasn't really moved RAW up on TV.
The Youtube stuff has been a pretty good indicator of revealing what's been interesting from WWE but somewhat useless for actual tv. The biggest problems being its way easier to digest clips that are a few minutes long than watch a whole 3-hour show live. Another big problem is the bulk of WWE's Youtube views typically come from India (and China) which is meaningless for tv since WWE can't transition it into additional viewers nor are they generating huge sums of money from those views.

USA Network probably views the 24/7 stuff as a success since it means one of their ideas actually works even if it supposedly was the "least bad one" given. WWE just needs to find a way to transition it into becoming additional tv viewers that stick around.
