You’re comparing apples to oranges.

  1. Streaming services know exactly how many people are watching something whereas Nielsen is a guess.

  2. Streaming services have no ad revenue to help the budget so they cut bait when nobody is watching. A network can let the audience grow because they still have revenue coming in from ads and cable fees.

Not really as to what I'm saying.

There are shows that get cancelled and some people automatically assume it must have sucked on a creative level. It may have "sucked" on a ratings level and thus on a financial level. But that's a way different thing than saying the show "sucked" creatively.

Shows don’t get cancelled on a creative level. If they are performing the networks don’t care.
