I was an early adopter for Netflix streaming. You all saying the selection sucks let's me know you weren't there for the struggle. The service must have survived off sheer potential and documentaries alone. It hit it's peak a few years back before all of the licensing issues with the greedy production/distribution/content companies but it's still a solid service.

Lol I have amazon video, hulu, screambox, shudder, and netflix. I already said why I have issues with netflix. They no longer care about video content, their energy is focused on its original series. New movies are trickled in while they shuffle the old/current movies for months and add new covers to fool you lol.

I am a fan of netflix original. Stranger things and the marvel/dc line up is the shyt. However I like to watch movies and docs and netflix is just blatantly lazy on that end:francis:

Netflix made billions by making their own original content, brand new movie licensing at the time probably costed them too much...:yeshrug:

Their deal with disney is a coup de grace' tho... :gladbron:

Also that's why you have hulu and amazon to make up for the slack that amazon has in other content. And wtf is shudder?! :patrice:

A new study published by researchers from Hong Kong universities provides some empirical evidence on this issue. Through a natural experiment, they looked at the interplay between Netflix availability and DVD sales in the United States. The experiment took place when the Epix entertainment network, which distributes movies and TV-shows from major studios including Paramount and Lionsgate, left Netflix for Hulu in 2015. Since Hulu has a much smaller market share, these videos no longer reached a large part of the audience. At least not by default. The researchers used difference to examine the effect on DVD sales, while controlling for various other variables. The results, published in a paper this week, show that DVD sales increased significantly after the content was taken off Netflix, almost by a quarter. "Our difference-in-difference analyses show that the decline in the streaming availability of Epix's content leads to a 24.7% increase in their DVD sales in the three months after the event," the paper reads.

newer and better technologies always replace the old ones. The VHS tape was replaced by the DVD. The DVD was replaced by the Blu-ray. I expect to see video games follow the same route with downloads

Shudder is cool, think of it is the Netflix of horror movies. Although Netflix shows horror movies Sudder specializes in them.
