At some point they abandoned trying to make a single good show or movie (or having a library of classics) in favor of churning out five mediocre ones.

Why watch a bad show? The best media is available whenever you'd like (but it's not on Netflix anymore).

The thing is its not obviously a money thing: Netflix throws piles of cash at their productions, it's just the scripts that greenlight are garbage.

Their Cowboy Bebop remake was awful and missed the point of everything, but seemed like they could’ve fixed it, so of course they instantly canceled it instead.
