I've seen a lot of people say things like that, and I've never understood that attitude, because by not watching, that's just further ensuring the show's less likely to get another season. Either way, your chances of enjoying the show longer seem slim. I get it sucks to get into a show only for it to be cancelled after a season, but I'd personally still rather watch and enjoy what's there, rather than not give something that seemed interesting to me a chance at all.

Agreed. I’ve come to realize that some people apparently care a lot more about endings than I do. Like knowing that there’s an unsatisfying ending will ruin their entire opinion of a show, even a pretty episodic one.

I’m thankful that I just don’t care that much. A bad/unsatisfying ending or show that ends on a cliffhanger is disappointing, but I can still fully enjoy the rest of the episodes.

I'm the same way. I mean, hell, isn't that one of the great things about fandom? A show's ending sucks, or is left unresolved, so you get to make up your own?

And yeah, maybe I've just been very lucky thus far, but I've been pretty satisfied with the endings to shows I watched. Not to say they were always perfect, mind, but overall, the characters' stories ended in ways that worked for me, so I could roll with those imperfections. Even if I did hate an ending to a show, though, I'd like to think I could still treasure and find ways to enjoy the stuff about it that I was happy with.

The problem is that those metrics are no longer guarantees of success, necessarily. Streaming platforms pay attention to shows which draw people to using their service and allocate funds to obtaining and producing shows which are either cheap or will draw attention. Once the initial draw of attention has been achieved there's no real incentive to continue making it or keep it around. Or so I understand. Because these shows aren't upheld by the number of people seeing ads on traditional T.V. there's no financial gain to keeping them going simply because people are watching it. Once you've got people on the platform or continuing to come back to use it (maintaining their subscription)...that's all that matters. So their model tends to be keep churning out new shiny things to attract attention but only keeping the huge shows running for multiple seasons.

I could be wrong on some specifics but that's generally the trend.
