but the new shows, written by those striking writers, aren't good - rings of power, she-hulk etc. etc.

Yes, and that’s because they’re focused on quantity over quality. And if that’s your strategy, you can do it with AI.

They have 30-40 years worth of content. I agree, majority is bad. But there is still plenty of stuff to watch. Plus, rewatching some old great show often is more rewarding than consuming all this new drek.

That old content is not on Netflix, or if it is is quickly disappears for "rights" reasons. Even more so now with every company coming out with its special streaming service.

I have a feeling that they are optimizing for view length (binge watchers) instead of commercial value of views.

If I watch only 3 Netflix movies or 1 serie in a month, I should be getting 10 times more budget per movie / serie than a person viewing 30 Netflix movies / 10 series. Sadly this doesn't happen.

I disagree. Tons of good stuff flew under the radar over the years... I have a huge backlog to work through just flipping through ranked stuff on Reelgood.
