~~It might make more sense when you think about the other kinds of shows on Netflix.~~
~~Each time a show is watched, some amount of money is set aside to be given to the IP owner of the show. So if there’s an ABC-owned show on Netflix, every time someone watches it, a little bit of money goes to ABC.~~
~~But if it’s a Netflix original, they don’t have to pay out to anyone else and Netflix gets to keep a larger portion of the user subscription fees.~~
edit: Possibly very wrong. I read this in an engadget article a while back and can’t find the source article.
