I don't think they want you to watch less. They just want you to watch the stuff they own the rights to which seems kind of odd since they don't publicize the viewership numbers.
- choward 8y agoI think the main reason is so they can get rid of stuff they don't own without people noticing as much.
- IronBacon 8y agoDidn't they once provided a list of movies/series that were going to disappear soon or I'm recalling wrong? I'm keeping my subscription only for my parents, and they also don't use it much, maybe two/three times a week.
- Grue3 8y agoThey don't open the numbers to the public, but surely they're reported to the IP holders. Now suppose Netflix is about to renew a deal to stream something. They go to the IP holder and say, hey this movie has been watched just 100 times this month. So we can only pay $X to renew it. What they don't say is that the suggestion algorithm deliberately avoided showing the movie to users and therefore the view numbers have been greatly reduced.
- toast0 8y agoThey probably pay less per stream for the stuff they own. Cost to create the content most likely comes out of a different budget. Or their metrics say people who watch their content don't close their accounts.
- scarface74 8y agoFrom what I understand, they don’t pay per stream. They pay one sum no matter how many people watch it.
