What’s the process to acquire content? Do they pay for access for a whole series or based on the views after it’s on their platform?

The same way TV companies and movie theaters do. You pay the creator and receive a license to distribute the show or movie.

Usually the contracts run for a set period of time, which is why things disappear from Netflix if they don’t renew the contract and pay more money.
