Of course Apple cares about profits just like every company, they needed to play catch up to Netflix and they were never going to do that by quantity so they chose to go for quality instead.
In 10 years time Netflix may have a 1000 different shows but if 800 of them are cancelled and finished without a resolution they really only have 200 shows because no one starts a show if you know it dosn't have a conclusion.
Were as in 10 years time Apple may have only have made 300 shows total but if 250 of them are finished with endings they will have a better catalogue of quality content.

The problem Netflix is already running into is they have no catalogue of finished shows, everything gets cancelled as soon as it drops viewers.
Does anyone go and watch shows that you know have been cancelled and will never get a ending, why should I bother keeping my Netflix subscription when all the shows I would want to go back and rewatch have no endings.
Stiff like the OA, great show, absolutely loved it but what's the point in rewatching it when I know the cliffhanger will never get resolved.
Apple are taking it slow and steady but I guarantee in 10 years they will have the best catalogue of finished good shows out of all the streaming services, probably even better than HBO.
Just look at SEE, no one watches it, it's expensive as fuck and yet they still gave it a 3rd season to finish up, so that even 10 years down the line new subscribers can go back and binge a great show that is complete.

Yeah and that seems to be going so well, what is Netflixs success rate like.
2% of new shows are breakout hits.
8% are pretty good or very good but there is a 70% chance they will never make it to the end before getting canned.
Maybe 20% of just average shows tha maybe get a couple seasons.
70% filler and complet shit that gets cancelled after 1 season.

Yeah how strange that a politician can actually have a original thought and make his own mind up about something.
It's fucking sad when the best democratic system we can seem to come up with is two options.
You get more choices in condoms than you do politicians.
