    It does. The streaming services won’t order more seasons etc if ratings are shit. That new season is lots of money for the people working, from set hands to camera men, writers etc.

    That said, I’ve not subscribed to any service since 2013 because none works like, say, Spotify.

      Netflix, in particular, won’t order more seasons if the show didn’t get them more users. They don’t care about popularity itself. The shows are supposed to get more people to subscribe. Which is stupid. I’ve honestly never heard of anyone subbing to Netflix for one show.

        Exactly what I’m talking about, but some people don’t realize the thing that if everyone pirates, the services stop spending money.

        But it’s their responsibility to make the service enticing

      Streaming services notoriously won’t order more seasons of shows that are popular, either. More seasons are more expensive than new shows.
