I wonder if season 3 of Jessica Jones is going to experience a drop off in ratings that also leads to cancellation, though. I haven't heard many people say they actually enjoyed it, much less thought it was as strong as season 1.

Also, Netflix is clearly very, very reticent about continuing to air original content made by other people, so it's a high bar to clear.

Yeah. I think this is a mistake on Netflix's part, but they're going to do what they're going to do.

It's hard to say because everything about Netflix's economic situation is totally opaque. But it's probably a good strategy. Over the long term, they're going to be more and more directly in competition with most other content producers, as those content producers start to move into the online distribution game in their own right.

Yeah, it's hard to say. And I understand it from a purely business standpoint because Netflix will save money by keeping everything in house. But viewers lose out on good shows, and a lot of content producers are, let's face it, NOT going to be able to gain a significant foothold in online distribution.

This doesn't seem obviously true to me? I mean, it's not really a technical challenge at this point. It's mostly a question of price points and competition in the market place and whether your catalog is big enough / valuable enough to make it work.

That's why I said "significant". Putting your stuff online is relatively easy. Getting people to watch it is a separate issue. Getting people to watch it AND pay for it is yet another. The advantage of Netflix is that is offers a lot of content for a relatively low price, a one stop shop for a lot of viewers. That's one of the keys to its success. Smaller content producers who say, only want to make one show are going to face a much harder struggle to find their audience.

It might experience a bit of a drop, but nowhere near as significant a drop as you seem to be expecting. A show that has a very strong first season followed by a weaker second season is a lot more likely to keep the majority of its viewers through the third season than a show that has a steaming turd of a first season is to gain viewers back if it manages to pull off a not-completely-terrible second season.
