Think the word you're looking for is long tail.
Rounding up to $10 a person subscription, Netflix can comfortably spend a million dollars on a show even if it thinks only 100,000 people, and no one else ever, are going to enjoy it. When they have almost a 100 million subscribers, they can basically make 1000 shows, each of which will be thought of as "great" by 0.1 million people and "trash" by 99.9 million people.
- bobbyi_settv 10y agoThat only works if you have a great way to help people find just the stuff they'll like and hide the rest. If they hundreds of series that are "trash" to me and a handful that are "great" to me, I'll probably end up watching a few of the trash ones first and then canceling the service.
