Re: Leaving Las Vegas.

I usually end up going to Amazon, they seem to have a much more extensive library. Unfortunately they aren't free. Which is fine, but why do I (and you) keep subscribing to Netflix?

The only thing I really use Netflix for is watching episodes of Cheers.

Yup, just checked Amazon and it can be rented for $3.99.

COuld be worse, you're catching a few episodes of your favorite series then BAM!, they yank it off the air when you're a few episode from completion. (And the Blue Ray set is a $170 collectors item)

Netflix is more and more about their original programming. We all stream shows on it around here. It's rare that they have a movie I'm looking for that I want to watch, but I do find some movies I've never heard of that are pretty good when I give them a chance.

Netflix changed their strategy a while ago from being a content provider to a content creator. Their priority is creating their own shows and movies that you can only see on Netflix via streaming. Even their dvd/bluray service they are slowly but surely downsizing and it will eventually go away. As for why people keep subscribing to Netflix, the simple fact is that a lot of their original shows are VERY popular. Stranger Things, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Altered Carbon, Fuller House, etc. etc.


Here's a very recent and interesting article on Netflix and why it has changed:

I just get my free month of Hulu or Netflix once or twice a year. I run out of stuff to watch pretty quick on both.

Only reason I am keeping A Prime is cause I get the student rate and, I can get the tiny bits of art supplies I can afford shipped to me for ZILCH in a day or two.

I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

I know it's an older show, but I am 3 seasons into Orange Is The New Black, really liking it.
