As for your question, I suspect that most people wouldn't subscribe to Netflix if they didn't think they'd get any use, but some people do sign up on behalf of their kids, who probably wouldn't be watching Sky Atlantic.
The point I was making was that those who subscribe to Netflix do so because they (or their family) want to watch it.

Whereas, those who subscribe to Sky do not necessarily do so for the purpose of watching Sky Atlantic.
