While true, the only way to increase market share would be to pump out enough stuff to keep people signed up all year while also getting more to sign up. It's all tied together. They only get me signed up for a couple months a year because I realized there can be stretches of months without something I actually really want to watch. So I instead I sign up for a month every so often and watch whatever backlog of things I've missed that actually interest me.

This the Netflix quantity versus quality approach. I would love to say it doesn’t work but people watch shows like ”Night Agent” and “Emily in Paris”. I really don’t know why, and I don’t think Netflix does either. They have so many subscribers paying so much per month, they can throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. Other streamers don’t have that luxury.
