I think part of it is only being tuned into the services you have.

I have Hulu and there are a number of reoccurring or old shows on Hulu that I watch. As a result I’m usually aware of what Hulu is offering, even if it’s only once a show returns.

I also have HBO, but I watch a lot less on HBO, so HBO only has a chance about once a week to get my attention.

I don’t have Netflix, so I have no idea what’s going on over there.

This actually burned me once since, while watching Doom Patrol on HBO, I was looking up information/news about the show and discovered that a spin-off type show called Dead Boy Detectives was coming out soon. What I didn’t see is that it was moving to Netflix, and not HBO. Naturally I forgot about it and HBO never advertised it (not their show), so what did I see as a headline a few months ago? It had been cancelled.

I think as Netflix has gained a cancellation reputation, they’re finding people are leaving and not coming back. I know they’re trying to improve this, but it’s going to take a lot of effort.
