Reply to comment by AnimusCorpus in Ted Sarandos says that Netflix has “never canceled a successful show” by avery5712

Well, yeah. Especially when they're niche fans who in aggregate don't spend nearly enough to keep the cult shows they adore afloat. Them being vocal doesn't grant their position any additional importance.

These artists are free to not "sell out" and keep their artistic vision pure. But you know, they're pretty into the profit motive, too.
