I don’t understand how a single movie’s viewers translate into success for a company where users do not pay individually for the movie. Netflix still gets my money whether I watch this movie or not. How does that work?

If you watch something, there is a higher chance that you keep paying.

Although, I cancelled my Netflix subscription a few years ago because I felt like I was watching too much. Same reason I quit World of Warcraft back in the day :)

presumably, views correlate to subscriptions. If view hours drop, it follows that subscriptions (would) drop in the future, if nothing changes.

A big budget film or series eats up capital, so if it is to contribute to the total view-hours count, it must do so at a rate that is better than making several, smaller series at a lower budget.
