This does help paint a better picture, but they clearly use different units so it's tough to compare.

Although even if I'm generous with how I compare I don't see how Netflix added 238 original "items" in 2024. There must be a lot of cheap content or Netflix license/branded content after the fact.

Also the article makes another good point,

Basically, it is currently impossible to tell the difference between a single season and a Limited Series on Netflix as their labeling is inconsistent.

Similar to the finale problem, you can't just assume a show that stops after "one season" was cancelled, it might just have been one season. (Of course some miniseries get extended, so that's also tricky.)
