Over the last year or so, it has become something of a meme making fun of the various streaming services and his lack of patience when it comes to programming. While the network shows of yesteryear could last for more than a dozen seasons with around 20 episodes, the providers of streaming They have significantly reduced that number.
Lately, it’s been increasingly common for a series to be canceled after only two or three microscopic seasons, with just eight episodes or so each year. Now, a new study says that consumers are really worried about subscribing to services of streaming due to his lack of loyalty towards some programs.
According to a new YouGov study (via Variety), nearly half of all respondents said they wait for shows to end before watching them due to the binge-watching model first popularized by Netflix. In addition, 27% of those surveyed said that this wait is due to fears about a possible cancellation and the suspense that involves. The survey says that about a third of adults consider themselves fans of at least three shows that have been canceled since February 2022.
Unlike traditional television, ratings for streaming service providers are not as transparent, with each platform keeping track of its own numbers. Because of that, platforms like Netflix they have claimed that they have never canceled a “successful” show.
“We have never canceled a successful show. Many of these shows were well-intentioned but captured a very small audience with a very large budget,” said the co-CEO of Netflix, Ted Sarandos, told Bloomberg earlier this year. “The key is being able to speak to a small audience with a small budget and a large audience with a large budget. If you do it right, you can do it forever.”
Even so, the platform’s subscriber numbers have dropped dramatically after announcing a crackdown on password-sharing accounts.
“We have settled on a thoughtful approach to monetizing account sharing and will begin rolling it out more broadly starting in early 2023,” the company previously said in a quarterly statement. “After listening to consumer feedback, we are going to offer the ability for borrowers to transfer their credit profile Netflix to their own account, and for sharers to manage their devices more easily and create sub-accounts (‘extra members’), if they want to pay for family or friends. In countries with our low-cost plan with ads, we expect the option to transfer profiles for borrowers to be especially popular.”

Editor’s note: I’m not that cautious but the truth is that there are cases (like Willow) in which I waited to see if it survived until a second season… and it didn’t happen. On the other hand, I hope that Netflix neither your ad plan nor your receivable plan for account sharing work for you.
