This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I seem to be the rare person that notices that something has changed slowly and completely (ship of theseus or frog boil style) over time.
I've cancelled and renewed Netflix a couple of times over the last decade but it's really a shadow of what it was at the start like you're describing. Occasionally, they have a single show worth pirating or binging over the course of like a year.
