I can't be bothered to watch any series on netflix that are not finished with a proper ending for this exact reason. Fuck them for not giving shows actual endings and just cancelling them.

Same! Netflix has trained me not to even watch new shows until the show has a proper finale. Fuck em for making so many throw away shows just to pump thier numbers.

Same goes for Google, it doesn't matter what miraculous app/hardware they dream up with, cause those fucks are no better when it comes to abandoning thier work. It's all pump and dump after the quartler numbers are out.

Enshittification is getting out of control.

Sometimes it's the enjoyment of what happens in a show that makes it enjoyable, or the just the actors giving a great performance with what they get, regardless of when executives want to cancel it cough firefly cough. I do agree it sucks but sometimes it's still worth the watch is all. Maybe they'll realize errors if enough people watch the better stuff even if unfinished in the future, but doubtful. Also I'm a Stephen King reader so used to not so great endings heh but the middle parts can be awesome at least.

Part of that is on the show runners and writers. Netflix makes decisions off of viewership and other metrics, it's the show runners that decide to have seasons end on cliffhangers

Netflix could always tell the show they aren’t being renewed and give them the opportunity to wrap things up. Even if it’s just with a two hour movie. Traditional networks frequently do this with shows. It would also make better sense because if the back catalog of shows on a streamer don’t end properly, no one’s going to subscribe to watch them.

It's been said many times before, but I would absolutely include an escape clause (?) in any contract with them, that sets aside a portion of the budget for a "wrap up" mini series/feature length episode/or straight up movie.
