This title suggests Ted Sarandos is hopelessly out of touch with the audience and is incapable of equating the cancellation of multiple popular shows with the loss of viewers who are sick of buying into characters and storylines only for the shows to be cancelled after one or two series.

I recently cancelled my 8 year Netflix membership and have no intention of going back despite how many "Lets get back together" and "we've added x TV programmes and films" junk emails they want to send me.

I had brand loyalty and was naively against services like Disney+ who i thought simply wanted a piece of the streaming pie, now given the decline of Netflix I've decided was misplaced and there are many better options.

HBO Max has an awesome library of content and renews even mid-tier shows that nobody talks about. They did recently axe a lot of kids/family stuff though but I’m child free so I don’t care.

HBO Max has been excellent, but it was just bought by Warner/Discovery who promptly started axing things including the previously acclaimed West World as it head into its final season and some other things. West World was even removed from platform and will be exclusive to some ad supported other service if I recall correctly
