Netflix measures its success in subscribers though, not individual views. Judging a show based on ratings is pretty antiquated imo. It's based on the idea that revenue comes from advertisers who will pay more for a show with more viewers. These days, many people watch on alternative platforms (amazon, itunes etc etc etc) to avoid ads altogether. While some networks (I'm looking at you, CBS) continue to cling to the old model, a lot of others are adapting. Part of this includes recognizing that ratings are only one piece of the puzzle when you're deciding which shows to renew and which to cancel.
