Netflix will never give out ratings to protect creativity

Mr. Sarandos, instead, pointed to the number of Netflix subscribers, which he said is about 70 million worldwide, and 43 million in the United States. In keeping with his public stance that Netflix would never release ratings, he said he did not want to engage in a “weekly arms race.”
“Once we give a number for a show, then every show will be benchmarked off of that show even though they were built sometimes for very specific audiences,” he said.
He added: “There is a very natural inclination to say, ‘Relative to this show, this show is a failure.’ That puts a lot of creative pressure on the talent.”
They will though. If I was an actor on one of their shows I would like to know, so I could ask for a raise. Same goes if i was a writer, a producer, or the studio that makes the show

LOVE this!! Don't let uglies who probably can't understand/comprehend bring down a series!
