I think it’s all part of the same mindset: they want all conclusions to be drawn from watching the show. So they make shit shows that they shouldn’t have started making (or rather: shit by their metrics, not viewers’) and then can them when the experiment says doesn’t meet their requirements.
best they can do is cancel the show after 1-2 season, rarely 3, and 4 if they are lucky.
