Except it doesn't matter because people aren't paying for the shows with the ads they watch. They are paying directly with their subscription money and Netflix can spend it any way they want. So what if only 3 million out of 75 million watch house of cards. How many shows are watched on netflix by 100% of subscribers? Or I'll even make it more fair: how many shows are being watched by more than even 10% of subscribers? Few to any, if at all. They pick up what they can afford. It doesn't matter if no one watches it, its already been paid for. (More or less, the cost is already sunk but the revenue continues if they buy properties or not. They would be even more profitable if they didn't buy any content)
- rhino369 11y agoOf course it matters to Netflix. They want to spend their money efficiently. It's possible spending on original content doesn't have a positive return on value.
- lhopki01 11y agoI think currently Netflix has other priorities than spending money efficiently. They want growth first. Years from now when they're a monopoly provider like cable is they'll concentrate on spending their money wisely and we'll all be bitching about the subscription fees.
