cancelling content when it was getting good, making people less interested in keeping the subscription, plus like most other streaming services, having only 8-10 episodes per season every other year, if you are lucky, sometimes 2-3years in between and the forcibly cancelling said series.

I said purely mathematical terms because the title said about one thousand jobs, I suppose I meant purely arithmetical terms and I rounded to the nearest person because fractions of a body can be very messy, even corporations may shy away from that.

They are looking for a giant hit not to entertain you, I know those sound like the same thing but they aren't.

I feel like it went from a show to content. I feel like peaky blinders went on for too long as well.

Oh I know, but I just couldn't resist the call of smartassery 😉

Math itself is not bothered by fractional people. But we are (with good reason).

Growth is over, no more space. Time for redundancy firings, efficiency hunting and buying smaller competitors to stay alive.
