> Instead of producing two mediocre shows and an algorithmically designed movie every single week
I'm actually kinda torn about that statement. While i usually prefer shows by other studios for quality, i've watched some Netflix Originals that were rather good, and especially some "foreign language" ones that i would most likely never have watched otherwise.
Most of the Netflix Originals are not huge budget productions, but especially their foreign stuff sometimes proves that less is more. They tell interesting stories in "good enough" settings for them to be enjoyable.
nothing precludes Netflix from having great content, their quantity over quality model is annoying. The "stars" or "match" of recommended content has no basing on the enjoyment by other users as it is purely algorithmic while having the visual component of looking like reviews. They try to induce fear-of-missing-out with their trending list, which I also don't trust due to the likelihood of it not involving any humans at all like their other feature. People catch on and walk away.
