There are many definitions of quality. For Netflix's purpose, quality is probably defined in terms of viewership and stickiness. They have to build a content library from scratch. Ensuring it appeals to the most amount of people per dollar is the most efficient way to do it.
- adjkant 7y agoThe thing is, they built the library from scratch already! That was explicitly done in the "Bojack era" referenced, by doing exactly what they are not doing now. We're now at the point where a library exists, and they are now going for easy wins quickly instead of continuing to invest in quality content that would actually grow that library. I suspect in an effort to keep their profit growth rate up for Wall Street.
