With this move, they will free up a lot of capital to invest in their own original content that won't be available on any other platform. Win.
It makes business sense to a degree, but it's not necessarily a "win" though. It's only a win if their content stays at a premium level, and thus they keep people interested. if their shows start dipping in quality, people won't be as interested in their new programming (which is what they're spending that saved capital on).
So while it will likely be a win for them, at least in the short term, that all depends on if they can keep the quality of programming up.

They have a pretty good model set up though. They KNOW what people are watching (as opposed to guessing using increasingly irrelevant survey methods) and use that to decide what to fund. They even have done a pretty good job of picking foreign shows to become "NetFlix Originals" like The Fall and Peaky Blinders. I'd also imagine when they showed Breaking Bad in the UK the day after it aired here that they did some NetFlix branding at the beginning of each episode.

Agreed, but HBO (who Netflix wants to emulate), faces this same challenge. Netflix has a good track record with their original programming thus far and that is why I am not worried about the hypothetical dip in quality.
