They don’t share viewing numbers for a reason.

We might realize we all only watch 4 shows on repeat and spend the rest of the time scrolling past all the slop.

    Kind of shocking the numbers above don't say anything about viewership at all, really. Just that the titles exist somewhere.

    But Facedeer is a notorious troll, so his big "gotcha" moment is apparently that people can't tell or enjoy this stuff. I doubt it. Netflix trash definitely includes $200 million blockbuster flops that nobody knows about (have you or most movie fans ever heard of Fountain of Youth?), that are getting churned out from the back catalog of Skydance, owned by the son of surveillance king Larry Ellison.

    If nobody wants a Guy Ritchie heist blockbuster with John Krasinski and two Star Wars alums including Natalie Portman, who's to say they "want" anything worse from Netflix?
