Netflix don't need everyone to like everything they make. They only need to have enough shows in their portfolio that are worth the price for an individual to buy in.

They could have a thousand things you think are awful and ten that you think are great to get you as a customer. You'll just ignore the things you don't like. So long as your money pays for the shows you watch it doesn't matter if you don't like the other stuff. That content is there to attract someone else.

Netflix would fail if any one of their customers liked everything they make, because there'd be thousands of other customers who didn't like any of it. There has to be a mix.

Actually for me discoverability is a big problem with Netflix: maybe I really like 10% of the shows I start watching, but I don't want to invest so much time in watching boring shows. Disney is much better in this regard.
