Well, I think ratings will always be useful—not all new shows are good, and ratings help weed the failures from the successes. I just hope for a future where ratings don't dictate income, as they currently do via advertisements. Netflix doesn't have this problem because they aren't beholden to advertisers. I hope they get The News Hour or something soon, I would watch the fuck out of it.
- corin_ 14y agoRatings for Netflix shows may impact revenue less directly, but they still very much do, else they wouldn't be making them at all. A good show could bring subscribers in, or convince subscribers to keep paying, while a bad show.. well, it probably won't drive people away on its own, but it certainly could bring in / keep less subscribers than it cost to make.
