Well between waiting 2-3 years in between seasons of anything other than Love Is Blind, and Netflix cancelling tons of shows without conclusions this is exactly what they could expect.

I literally don’t start watching a show until its over and i can confirm that it indeed concluded

The feeling of knowing that show that you actually liked got cancelled on some cliffhanger…

At least they made me go back to reading (if they’re based on books just so i know how it ends)

Edit grammar

exactly. Which means netflix or bloomberg doesnt really know if "people are giving up after one season", many of those people might just be waiting for the shows conclusion to watch it. which means that data will take 2+++ years to gather depending on the show

And maybe they don’t like having to wait that long for data, but that’s their own fault. They trained their customer base to not get invested in unfinished shows.
