Make your own Netflix 7GB (size of one hour 4k HDR content) * 3 (hours) * 30.5 (Average days in a month) = 640.5 GB
A good, new, brand name 20TB drive costs ~$300, that's $15 per TB.
Thats $9 a month. When your drives are full just buy another drive.
Add $20 for a usenet sub, VPN, another maybe $5 at most for other hardware.
I would still encode and compress the files without noticeable visual loss from a reasonable distance.
AV1-opus combo is generally a good choice and is a viable open codec alternative to x265! Plus you save GB of space for even nore movies and share your encodes on a private tracker to keep up your ratio !!
It's a win/win situation except if you're a hardcore bluray/4k hoarder and have the money and mean to keep everything in the native quality. More power to you !!
