Honestly, the spin that I typically see just feels steeped in bias: "Netflix has nothing _I_ want to watch, therefore it is catering to no one and doomed to failure". I imagine Netflix has a really good grasp of the content landscape and is playing a bit of moneyball with that. Sure, reality TV is not everyone's cup of tea, but it may have a larger audience:budget ratio than other projects, thus being an important asset in a content portfolio. Let's not forget the Bridgerton's and shows of the like, whose appeal probably inversely correlate with that of Star Wars for a particular viewer, in aggregate. I think an analogy to the gaming sphere is apt. You are not going to sell RTS's to people who play visual novels. And furthermore, in the MMO arena, there is also the dichotomy between those who play the game at a leisurely pace and those who consume end-game content as if it's their job. All of these different segments exist, yet how best to allocate resources among them is the true question. I do think disregarding a niche would be a mistake if one is truly chasing growth but it is also a balancing act. Essentially, Netflix is Steam, but forced to take on a much larger publisher role.
