marquis de posade 1 @acczibit The contemporary economy is about manufacturing demand, and Netflix literally owns their own platform to do so. One of the biggest tools they have is exploiting social pressure by creating the illusion that everyone is watching x What this is is a failure to manufacture demand O Fujoshi's Island @Dauragon - Dec 10 The cowboy bebop thing is pretty funny but it really exposes how much netflix just doesnt make any f------ sense. Like not even looking into info it that deeply: a few weeks ago they were tweeting about how it basically was setting the data centers ablaze, now it's canceled.

The _perceived_ success of content is the secret sauce that leads to its actual success eventually, except sometimes nobody buys into it and the real views never materialize That's how a show goes from OMG MOST WATCHED EVAR to evaporating overnight 5 17 12 222 marquis de posade 1 @acczibit - Dec 11 To clarify, by "success" I don't mean that people liked it, but that they watched it (this is the distinction I mean in the second tweet) The illusion they're trying to create is not that it is good or bad, but that it is being watched by everyone OMarinettimaxxing @wivewa - Dec 11 Replying to @acczibit I think you're missing that people who thought it was going to be bad still bought a subscription. Those are new customers who may find something they actually like, since they have it for a month, and then renew the service to watch that and similar shows. 3 27 4 O 149 * marquis de posade 1 @acczibit - Dec 11 Netflix can work with content being s--- as long as it's s--- of the kind people tune in to watch Cowboy Bebop's real issue for Netflix wasn't that it was bad it was that it was bad in a way that most people had enough of after a few clips on social media 3 wine dark sea @eminence_bleue · Dec 11 Replying to @eminence_bleue and @acczibit You can see a more crude version of this with the marketing for Gotti, but Netflix planting an article on VICE saying "Cowboy Bebop was meant to be s-----" was likely an evolution on that 27 16 179
