Through analytics Netflix should know exactly when people stop watching a series, or even when in a movie they exit out. They no doubt know this by user.

They know exactly what makes you stay, and what makes you leave.

I would not be surprised if in the near future movies and series are modifed on the fly to ensure users stay glued to their screens.

In the distant future this might be done on a per user level.






They did it the other way around, every Netflix series is now designed like a soap opera, to be watched in the background.
