How do TV ratings work now that everything is streaming? How do networks know what shows are hits? How is it all compiled and analyzed? Did that woman who watched the Bee Movie 400 days in a row skew the data?

I don’t really see your question. The data analysis of most viewed shows works the same as before. Every streaming service knows when someone choose a show and starts watching it. Just as a TV channel knows who many viewers are connected to their channel at the airing time of the episode.
Everything is just a simple count. When play a show in Netflix, you are requestion the server to send you the video. Then, that requests counts 1 into that show viewer count. I think there’s more to your question but I don’t see it
