They're trying to keep people subbed long-term as that's where the money is.
I know a lot of people (students etc.) cycle through subs in this way; they get Netflix for a month and ninge the shows they want to see, cancel and get Disney+ and binge all the new Marvel stuff etc, cancel and get Prime ... etc. and then repeat again a few months later.
I disagree on The Witcher S2 though, I really enjoyed it and in fact preferred it to S1 in many ways.
I also disagree that "13 Reasons Why" is an example of quality, utter pish  . Cobra Kai is all the teen drama I need  . Probably by merit of being over the top/funny/self-aware.

The Witcher Season 2 just felt like a GOT wannabe imo, with a bizarre amount of focus on Ciri training.
I haven't seen Cobra Kai tbf.
And I feel like Season 1 of 13 Reasons Why was well made for a Teen Show, Season 2 however was garbage.
For me Netflix making things like Bly Manor, Sweet Tooth & Midnight Mass were the death of the platform for me.
The only good Shows on the platform now imo are Arcane & Alice In Borderland out of what I've watched on there.
