And for the big guns, it means they make up the viewer stats and can say 2 billion people watched a show and by the time they have to "pay" the artists for those 2 billion eyeballs, they're not going to.

The simple reason is because they haven't had a GREAT show yet that scaled up (outside of bojack, that went 6). It's mostly the mix of bad creative models and constantly misunderstanding their own data because they look at it from tech perspective over creative.

I swear every time I see Netflix talk about their data it's like the scene in THE JERK where the gunman is shooting at Steve Martin and hitting the cans and he's like "He hates these cans!" No, people don't "prefer" two seasons of slapdash TV that peters out quick.

What they love and have always loved, is living within the world of a show and inviting the characters into their home. This drives admiration, success, brand loyalty, and all the things that made so many cable channels a destination in the first place.

It’s their stupid binge model. A 10 episode GoT season could last 3-4 months depending on timing and breaks. Same for Mandalorian. Netflix dumps their shows all at once so people watch the whole thing in a week, which is absolutely not how to retain subs.
