This was never a safe assumption because the entire entertainment industry cannot sustain itself on a single $15/mo subscription. The "golden days of Netflix" were a product of Netflix licensing shows in syndication, not footing the full bill for their production. Cable and network TV was still actually funding these shows, and Netflix was getting "reruns" a year or two after the fact.
