Make A Satisfying Experience

People worry about the ending too much. They think that that if a story doesn't have a thoroughly satisfying ending, then it isn't worth making. Although the ending does certainly matter, I think it does not deserve as much concern as people give it.

When a story relies on a surprising ending, it is effective once. If I read or watch such a story again, I just spend the whole time waiting for that ending.

If you concern yourself more with the journey of the story, be it meeting people, amusing conversations, poignant debates, and a resolution of conflict, then the whole story will make a satisfying experience, not just the ending.
