I never suggested that knowing the stats made Netflix money directly. It does, however, give them a great deal of valuable feedback when it comes to making decisions on what shows to continue, what to cancel, what to acquire in the future, etc. Networks probably wish they had that level of detailed information on their viewers!

And yes, petitions might be some clue to them as well. But I don't think it'll be anywhere near as helpful as the vast amount of information they already have direct access to that is not influenced by peoples' emotions. Petitions tell them how many people took five seconds to click a few buttons. Hard numbers tell them exactly who is REALLY interested in the show enough to watch, subscribe, etc.

I'm not denying the importance of data. Just that it's an incomplete picture and Netflix probably knows that.

I agree it's not the complete picture, but you could never get a complete picture on the what every single viewer thinks and feels about a show. But I don't think petitions add anything of significant value to Netflix's knowledge in this case. The fact that Netflix released a statement acknowledging those petitions and feedback and restating that it hasn't changed their minds would suggest that I am correct about that.

A large part of the point - to me - is that something like this can influence Netflix' decisions in ways besides just bringing back Sense8. If Netflix sees this as a reason to make more things that are similar to Sense8 in the future, I think that would count as a success for the petition.

That would be nice, but a little hard to measure the concept of nebulous influence on future projects. I'm also fairly sure that a wildly successful series would be a lot more influential on Netflix's future projects than a petition.

Not necessarily, because the problem with Sense8 is the budget. If you can satisfy the demand on a lower budget, I think that could easily be a win.

Of course, I have no idea whether Netflix shares that view.

It's true that a lower budget show that satisfies the demand would be good, but I'm not sure how it relates to my comment about a wildly successful show being more influential than a petition.
