It's capitalism. Unverified, but I've heard it explained as a result of tracking growth through new subscribers. Keeping around an old show won't drive new subscribers unless it's a huge show that generates a lot of buzz. New shows have a better chance of appealing to people who aren't already subscribers. So they cancel the old one and start up another new show instead.
