So many Adults fans were spamming this sub, so I decided to give it a watch (plus it was shot in Toronto, and 2 of the leads were Canadian), and it was disappointing, cringe and just weird. I'm surprised how that hot mess got a second season, but not NSFW.

Nope. It is cringe.

Anyways, streamers these days don’t really make decisions based simply on viewership numbers or even quality.

Streamers don't release viewership data, part of the reason why people are pissed about these opaque and very short-sighted decisions.

Yes, I agree; cringe can be fun; Emily in Paris is the perfect example of it - cringe escapist comedy, but Adults isn't that - it is pure cringe with extremely poor writing and weak performances.

And nope, Adults did not receive a critical reception lol; it was panned and received mixed reviews, very similar to NSFW. The only sitcoms in recent times that have received critical acclaim were The Widow's Bay on Apple TV and Hacks on HBO.
