Why doesn't Netflix see that shows that don't receive Stranger Things ratings can still be used as a way to grow their content library instead of just canceling them?

It seems pretty short-sighted to cancel shows just because they don’t pull in massive ratings like Stranger Things. With almost every major media company now running their own streaming service and fighting for subscribers, it’s more important than ever to have a variety of good content. Keeping shows with solid writing, even if they’re not huge hits, could help in the long run by pulling in niche audiences, keeping loyal fans around, and making the platform look better overall. Instead of only chasing big, instant successes, streaming companies should think about the long-term value of having a mix of different shows that keep people watching and stop them from canceling their subscriptions.
