One of them is really just advertisement for stuff coming out next week, they call it "worth the wait" but what are they implying? The other new stuff, don't bother waiting for it?

They ought to be. They haven't produced anything good aside from an odd docu-series in years. If I see a show is made by netflix I don't even bother watching or looking further into it in any way.
I take more issue with their suggestion that any of their stuff is worth any amount of wait.
Yeah I have a hard time finding something worth watching that I haven't watched millions of times on there. You'd think it's maybe just the sheer number of options that slows you down but no, it's just all sheit.

Quantity over quality is their approach. I read an article a few years ago that concluded they were intentionally doing this to find another niche and not compete directly with the HBO style of releasing fewer but high-budget shows.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me how they're doing it though. There are no shortage of competent writers or actors and because of that I don't think it would be that much, if at all, more expensive to find and hire them. Skimp on the set design, props or number of filming locations. Film everything on a single stage if you have to. But don't skimp on the writing or acting. That's unforgivable.
Now that you say it, it does sound like the more reasonable cause. I always blamed their viewer base, too huge and various. Though I have no clue really.
