I agree with a lot of the criticisms of content on Netflix, but I also think that it was necessary. I don’t think it would be possible to pump out only A++++ content to fill their catalog in the time that they have been able to grow their offering. So now that they do have a ton of content, they can scale down new releases a bit and focus on providing better content rather than more content. I think they had to push out as much as they could because of all of the new competition in the area. Now they have a large collection of Netflix originals to keep some subset of subscribers entertained, and going forward they can focus on growing that subset by introducing better quality originals. If they focused solely on quality, a subscriber might only stay for a few months or a year or so before they could watch everything (edit: everything “worth watching”) and unsubscribe. Just my opinion. Edit2: as part of the growth of competition in this arena, Netflix was having certain shows pulled (an example that comes to mind is The Office)
