I do think that Netflix may be on to something with its curation /discovery of new sub-sub niches. One of the issues with creating fiction compared to non-fiction right now, in any medium, is that it's much harder to niche down in fiction. In non-fiction I can perfectly happily make a viable living from writing to a niche of, say, "owners of cats with behavioural issues", or "Finance-focused startups in need of lead generation knowledge". In fiction, niches are much less granular - at best, you can target, say, "werewolf-based romance", and for many projects, you'll be targeting "fantasy", "hard SF" or similar huge niches with very vague requirements and significant saturation problems.
