What does this have to do with either comment above?

You think a show is going in a certain direction: a news piece comes out and confirms that, with millions of dollars of incentive to seal it, it's probably not going to go that way...

What's wrong with voicing displeasure at that? They said they're canceling their viewership, not that the show should be shut down due to their preference or something.

Your comment implied that, because the show is now making so much money/worth so much money to Apple, and because it's being renewed for a fourth season before we've even seen the third, it must surely be on some Lost-esque meandering disaster wherein the execs will keep renewing it and milking it dry until they're forced to kill the series with a smoke monster ending.

That's a massive jump.

It becomes more like Lost because you can't go on even the planned 4 seasons without expanding an already pretty expansive in-universe lore.

Without spoiling it, obviously Season 2 opened a lot of lore-based threads that the confirmation of a Season 4 ensures will not be getting resolved for another 3+ years and over a lot more content.

That's not inherently bad, but it becomes a different show than if it had been trimmed to 3 seasons, and I can easily see why it's no longer for some people.
