1->''..this sounds like an interesting concept; gathering together all the [[Franchise/DCUniverse DC]] characters who were active during the time of Camelot’s fall. That’s the happy part.''\

3''The sad part is that the book will be dead inside a year. Absolutely. No question. We’re talking crib death here. Yeah, “[[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Game of Thrones]]” is popular, but does anyone REALLY think that will translate into people buying a comic set in the Dark Ages?''\

5''. . . In summation: THOU SHALT BUY, AND ALSO SHALT THOU START A “SAVE ''ComicBook/DemonKnights''” PETITION IMMEDIATELY.''

8->''The show was a source of fear. We all felt it, even after [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E1Rose "Rose"]] was a massive hit. The other shoe could drop at any moment. It still could -- look to the astonishing paranoia over the possibility that [[Creator/StevenMoffat Moffat]] can't make ''Doctor Who'' as fast as Creator/RussellTDavies could. The wilderness will always haunt ''Doctor Who'', but this was, perhaps, its moment of greatest terror.''

11->''And if there's even a 25 percent chance that Google Keep will be canceled in two years, do you really want to be the sucker who spent endless hours organizing your life around it?''

14->''The idea is that since you ''know'' that Creator/{{Netflix}} cancels so many shows after one or two seasons, ending them on cliffhangers and leaving their storylines unfinished, it’s almost not worth investing in a show until it’s already ended, and you know it’s going to have a coherent ending and finished arc.\
15So you hold off watching new shows, even ones you might otherwise be interested in, because you’re afraid Netflix will cancel them. ''Enough'' people do this and surprise, viewership is low! And the show ends up cancelled. The loop is closed, and reinforced, because now there’s yet another example cited, causing even ''more'' people to be cautious the next time around. And now we’ve reached a point where unless a series is some sort of record-breaking fluke megahit (Series/{{Wednesday}}) or established super franchise (Series/StrangerThings), a second or third season feels like not even a coinflip, but more like 10-20% shot, at best.\
16Netflix’s cancelation policies have informed its viewers that if you want a show you like renewed, you need to watch it immediately, you need to tell all your friends to watch it immediately, and you need to finish all episodes in a short period of time. Anything less than that will result in likely cancelation, with the problem being, of course, that this runs contrary to the entire promise of a streaming service like Netflix in the first place. The core concept of “on demand” streaming was that ability to watch what you wanted, when you wanted to. But now binging a series in its opening weekend isn’t just an ''option'' to have, it feels almost mandatory, lest the negative data reflect poorly on a show you might otherwise like.''

19->''At Creator/{{Netflix}}, we've seen dozens of recent articles revealing streaming is almost completely a fake business, with a focus on our penchant for cancelling shows early to avoid big payouts. With that in mind please get excited for [[Series/OnePiece2023 our adaptation]] of [[Manga/OnePiece one of the longest manga ever made]].''
