Cobra Kai seems successful. Unfortunately, YouTube dropped it and Netflix picked it up. The irony is that, while Google makes a lot of money from ads, its sibling Netflix kinda sucked at advertising the show. I didn't know about Cobra Kai until it was on Netflix.
- philistine 5y agoCobra Kai was a terrible flop, which Youtube dropped after the second season did not change its status. Sony, which distributes it, believed in it and shopped it around to other streaming sites. Netflix picked it up and only then did it become a bonafide hit, warranting a third and now fourth season.
