These results must be heavily influenced by canceled series but the word is not mentioned (probably verbotten) on the posting.

If I've watched a dozen series and had them cancelled before their conclusion over recent years -- not an exaggeration -- I will be much less likely to watch a new series. Instead I will tend towards movies or a limited duration series, usually sixish episodes with a premeditated conclusion, posted and safe.

In other words, their cancel lust drives the viewing, maybe more than the material itself, and it's not being accounted for here.



Imagine if Google had a studio for TV shows; they would cancel everything after 1 or 2 episodes.


Nah they gave the shows like 2 months, and the studio lingered more than a year [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube_Original_Channel_Initi...]


Thos has been a thing for a long time. Like you I'm not watching a show until I know it's a contained thing or at least 2-3 seasons are out.
