Our Flag Means Death was just cancelled by Max, leading me to ask the question: why are streamers getting rid of shows that have strong fandoms? heterosexualnonsense.substack.com/p/it-feels-i...

It feels insane for streaming services to be cancelling shows like Our Flag Means Death in this era

In this era of peak streaming saturation, why are they shooting themselves in the dick with a pirate gun or whatever?

I’m not sure of the relationship between intense fandoms and casual viewers, but perhaps the latter brings more dollars? Also, not sure the streamers are that focused on long term at the expense of short term share prices. The system, as currently constituted, isn’t sustainable.

Because the third season is when all the bonuses for the creators kick in.
