Fun fact: entertainment production and show business are so expensive that most things that are made are actually made for people who watch those things.

This holds true for Netflix but it also holds true for HBO.

What is mind numbing is the bit about Netflix making exactly what people want to watch. It doesn't work that way. Netflix orders content from a supply chain. Netflix can feed in the info to the supply chain on what the numbers say, but not much else.
