They will keep shows that have the right audience for their budget while trying out new shows to reach people and cancelling what isn't working.

The same as every TV distributor ever since the beginning of TV

You are so patronizing.

What, really? They are patronising for spelling out the truth? No, really. You can say that netflix is cancelling 'good' shows. But they certainly aren't cancelling 'successful' shows. Note that success depends not only on the number of viewers, bug also the budget. The viewership needs to justify the budget.

I'm not saying they're entirely correct on this, as many shows require a few seasons to garner significant viewership, and also ending shows that ended in cliffhangers is also poor decisionmaking
