I also hate it but for a different reason. Having a con for “Netflix” is like having a con for “television” it’s just too generic. Cons are for targeted areas of entertainment like Bravo Con or True Crime or Hallmark or even D23. Netflix’s programming is all over the place so it’s silly to believe anyone is that big of a fan of something so heterogenous. I watch plenty of Netflix but there is nothing to rally around. This is just a glorified Upfront
I suspect it's part of Netflix's efforts to build their "brand." But you're right, it's a tough task and I guess that's why it focused primarily on bigger, well-known titles. The comparison to the upfronts makes a lot of sense. It's sort of an upfronts for fans and social media.
And I hate to think how much money Netflix spent on their "creator" night Friday at Vibiana.
FYI - Ssason 4 of Great American Baking Show follows new Seasons 1-3 that have been on Roku. Yes, ABC aired their own version but Roku started over and have been airing 6 ep seasons the past few years.
