I imagine it is. We are kind of making things worse. But at the same time the issue started because they kept canceling shows. People would watch what they wanted, and some just didn't have a big enough audience, or Netflix just didn't care, so they would get canceled. And that's why now some of us don't watch what we want, because what we want is likely to get canceled, even if we do watch it. Us not watching it just increases those chances. But I'm not willing to spend time on a 1 season show that gets left without a finish.
I think another problem is that they have a little of everything. If you want a particular type of show, they probably have made it. Maybe even more than once. But that also means the viewership gets spread a little thinner, which means many of them aren't getting as many views as the big name shows.
I agree with what you said, but would like to clarify: WE did not make things worse. THEY did. We simply reacted, and they are greedy as fuck.
They had a good thing going for decades. They could have rode that cash cow into the sunset, but she's just not fat enough for them.
It's like how I stopped trying new things at Friendly's because every time I liked something it was gone from the menu next time I went.
