How can you evaluate their decisions based on a half-complete assessment of partial data? How can you estimate how much a show costs vs how much it produces to show if it's successful or not? Why do you insist on this simple metric as somehow descriptive of a shows success?
How can you be so confident in your assessment when you have no insight into what is a notoriously shadowy decision-making process?

It's so weird. There's a real sentiment that Netflix is just cancelling successful shows to hurt people's feelings and be mean. There's no other reason!

Even though you deleted the thread because you couldn't answer a straight-forward question, here's something to clue you in - it actually costs Netflix more to stream a show after the 30 day window than during it, due to shuffling content around on local delivery systems to save bandwidth.

But keep citing public metrics and telling half the story like you have it figured out already.
