The season thing drove me up the wall. How did any, and I mean any TV executive think that was a good deal? Worse is how are people still paying for it? Oh yeah, I love watching a show, seeing a big cliffhanger, then speeding forward 2 seasons skipping everything in between. Why the hell would anyone want that?
Or with Netflix, you’re exactly right. I also love falling in head first into a show, then having it completely changed or outright cancelled after the first or second season. Netflix made a money printer with the Witcher. Everyone I knew was watching it, nerds, parents, random friends, anyone I asked they were watching it. Then they just decided “Nah, fuck the money, we’ll just completely change the show to the point where even the main actor leaves”. What the actual hell are they thinking? Why do people still give them money?!

I doubt they thought about it and/or care. It’s probably a case where they don’t have the rights to offer the missing seasons, and threw what they had up anyways because fuck it, someone will watch it.
Or with Netflix, you’re exactly right.
I don’t honestly expect Netflix to survive long-term, since there’s absolutely no reason to subscribe to them anymore.
They don’t have any shows that I could name that I’d be interested in, and it’s damn internet meme that they’re going to kill everything after a season or two.
It’s utter incompetence by the c-levels, and has pretty much put them on a trajectory to eventually just glide into irrelevance.
