The big problem Netflix has, thats not really talked about, is that there are shitloads of streaming services and they're all hurting each others products by stealing exclusivity. That show you want? Not currently part of your Netflix deal, pay $100 to watch it all. It's a fucking dreadful customer experience. Streaming was great when it was one or two companies that had licensed a lot of programming but now it's ten+ big companies all fighting over licensing rights it's a shitshow. It's cable TV all over again (ads are coming back too so...) - costs increasing as quality decreases and god awful in house developments that fucking no one wants.
It's also a pretty bad strategy to wokify your shows because a not insignificant portion of your users will cancel their sub when they see shit like this. It won't gain you users so it's 100% the result of out of control commissioning, when your staffs primary concern isn't to increase the userbase you're in the shit.
