No need to suspect, they are advertising that openly and are proud of it. Famously, years ago they invented House of Cards TV show by looking at the most popular search tags and picked the most popular ones to select a genre and theme of a new show. It was a story of many articles about Netlix back then.

I do believe they heavily follow the trends from their analytics in what the shows they buy and what they cancel, though.
- jsnell 2y agoNo, that's not at all what happened. House of Cards was a highly regarded UK TV series from BBC (made in the early 1990s). Like many UK TV series, it was ripe for an American adaptation. Netflix won the bidding war for that adaptation. Making up "famous" examples doesn't make your case stronger, but the opposite.
