Comment Crap shows (Score 1) 94
This is nothing more than speculation, but I would hazard a guess that the crap shows always seem to be the ones they are promoting because they are cheap to license.
Same reason Spotify is pushing podcasts so hard.
If you're watching or listening to something that costs them very little to license, then you are not watching or listening to something that costs them a lot. Hence the crappy (cheap) shows get pushed harder.
It also gives Netflix leverage against the expensive shows. "Look at the stats. Your expensive and amazing show isn't getting viewed very much so we aren't going to pay you the full amount for it."
This is all speculation, but it certainly makes sense.
