I don’t think they realize how many of their subscribers are around because they like the niche content. Now that it’s clear they don’t renew unique (non-blockbuster) shows their subscribers will drop and drop as those people lose interest.
I support the concept of shows like Stranger Things, but it’s not my cup of tea. I like Nick Kroll, but Big Mouth and its spin-offs are too crass for me. I’ll watch a click-bait-y doc here and there, but even those are losing their charm because they feel more and more like poorly researched YouTube videos.
I used to love getting surprised by interesting television on Netflix. The OA is a masterpiece. I’m still thinking about 1899 even now. I Think You Should Leave is one of the funniest sketch shows I’ve ever seen (thankfully not canceled yet). Heartstopper is a heartbreaker.

But those are the exceptions, not the rule.
