We've all spent all of our lives complaining about the business practices of TV networks, and it was easy to sympathize with Netflix shaking it up... but now I'm beginning to wonder if their business practices aren't, in the end, more destructive and restrictive. Sure, they'll keep a series they made up in their vast library, but it seems to me that the long lives of popular shows are often helped by those shows airing on different networks, having physical media releases, and even popping up on different streaming apps. Staying on one thing forever seems like a good deal, but somewhat counterintuitively I wonder if it'll be a detriment to the shows and movies themselves.
Add to that a lack of transparency in the way the business is run being hard on creators and producers; less job security for people working on shows because they're being employed to create, say, ten episodes instead of a full season of employment; and I've also read a bit about actors receiving far less pay for playing supporting parts in comparison to equivalent work on a Network show.
