Bloomberg

Bloomberg enters this wiki branch as the reported source of internal Netflix data cited in Netflix struggles to retain viewers after a series’ first season. The Marketplace Tech episode uses that reporting to ground the claim that returning seasons of shows such as The Night Agent, [[BeefSeries|Beef]], and [[AvatarTheLastAirbender|Avatar: The Last Airbender]] lost large shares of their original viewers.

The wiki treats the numbers as source-reported rather than independently verified. Bloomberg’s role here is to make the Streaming Audience Retention problem concrete enough for Brandon Katz to discuss Netflix’s release model, production timing, catalog abundance, and cancellation economics.
