    “Won” is a real stretch here. The article devotes half a paragraph to their shows, let’s outline them,

    Stranger Things

    Amazing show, hasn’t had a season in years. Sure we’re getting the final season this year, but that’s a one month subscription after multi year wait.

    Wednesday

    A good show. You’d probably get me to subscribe for a month for this.

    Squid Game

    I’ll admit I’m in the minority who didn’t see this, but I heard lukewarm reviews for season 2, so I don’t think season 3, if it exists, will pull anyone in.

    The Night Agent

    I’ve never heard of this. Maybe it’s good but it isn’t bringing in subscribers.

    Paul / Tyson fight

    Who cares, garbage.

    Tom Brady roast

    Who cares, garbage.

    NFL games

    For specific audiences, not me.

    WWE’s Monday Night Raw,

    For specific audiences, not me.

    massive library of reality shows, cooking competitions, and the other filler TV

    And that right there is why I consider Netflix in last place.

    Netflix has a few “prestige” shows, but most of them have already ended or are ending soon. Perhaps the list will keep existing subscribers, which is good, but it isn’t going to bring in anyone new, at least not long term.

      Netflix has gone from a solid streaming service to a practically unavoidable, virtually uncancellable part of mainstream culture

      Welp, guess I’m not mainstream.

      We dont even get half that since netflix does not allow specific peoples the right to access the content they pay for.
