      Even if the shows flop, it doesn't really matter because Netflix can also tout the sheer size of their catalogue to potential customers. Or I guess that's their plan. Sign up for Netflix, we have thousands of shows for you to never watch and scroll mindlessly through until you find something good when we'll promptly cancel it.

        Marc Maron was right: most of what's allowed to exist on Netflix is some combination of Savage Dicks and Turd Journey. :dumpster-fire:

      They literally don’t care if 99% of their products fail, only need a handful of them to become global hits

      They'll kill off successful shows if some suit doesn't like them. Most efficient system. :capitalist-laugh:

      I wouldn't even mind this so much if all the shots were on wildly diverse ideas but it's all just on indistinguishable cape shit.

      i could understand that strategy if they were funding shows for maybe one-tenth this cost, but 200 million of uncle sam's own dollars going towards shit like this just makes me think the graft is immense.

      Damn, we should all sign for various things. (I know this isn't how it works, I don't know anyone in the biz)
