Stop blaming the pandemic. The reason Netflix can't hold on to customers is they canceled everything worth watching.
Yeah, they started canceling shit long before the pandemic, I think around 2016. Once they decided to go all-in on original content, they began letting licensing contracts expire.
Jacked up prices, added a ton of crappy content instead of focusing on fewer but better quality shows, “crackdown” on password sharing when they once encouraged it.
What did they cancel? Legit question because I only had one of my shows cancelled.
A better question would be - what DIDN'T they cancel? Here's a list of Netflix Originals they cancelled:

That list also doesn't seem to include shows that were informed they were getting cut, so ended it prematurely.
Point taken.
