Now that 2024 has come to a close, it’s official, Netflix once again handed out the most cancellations in the calendar year – though at this point, I don’t thin
That’s another good point and what I was getting at in terms of patterns.
Without a clear breakdown of what is being added and what is being removed (on a category level) it’s difficult to really know what these cancellations mean.
My personal metric for subscribing to a streaming service is “one new show per month”, but that rule has the implied “…that I want to watch”.
If Netflix is only adding garbage I don’t want to watch, it doesn’t really matter. (As a side note I don’t currently subscribe to Netflix after it failed the above metric a few years ago, it may have shows I’d watch now, but I don’t miss it enough to go back and look.)
Do they have to? They are a private company making entertainment. Unless they are paying people based on the number of views, I don’t see why that information has to be public.

So much of Netflix front page is just “Do you want these cheapo cell phone games instead of shows?” right now.
Definitely feels like they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel
They probably have the data to back up that not everyone wants to watch prestige TV all the time, so they are giving the audience what it wants.
They just won’t release the numbers on individual shows.
