Likewise, you can have a show that's actually a modest hit and when contract negotiations come up they can say "sorry, four people watched your show" and then underpay you even if work is actually doing really well for them.

For a streaming service like netflix, isn’t there like a cap on how many total subscribers there are (like not a literal cap but the Earths population is finite at any given moment) shouldn’t they eventually care more about retaining customers over bringing in new ones?

Like people getting frustrated and canceling a service because shows they like keep getting canceled seems something your buusiness model should account for...

Feels a little harsh to be like "they're making crap" when many shows are quite good. (They're not Breaking Bad, but what is?) Also, seems unfair to compare animation to costlier, live-action series. The entire run of Bojack probably cost what 1 season of Umbrella Academy does.

So many other companies have much much much better batting averages, which is fine, but my argument is with their approach. Also animation is incredibly expensive.

Game of Thrones is the one I always use as an example. It was decently successful at first, but it wasn't until a few seasons in that it hit crazy levels of popularity. Netflix would have cancelled it after a single season.

Imagine if NBC looked at the dip in numbers after season 3 and cancelled Seinfeld?
