I came in to call out the hypocrisy of this post. Who cares that it has stuff that you don't have any interest in? This post does that Im directly quoting. If you're here to argue that having irrelevant shows doesnt affect the price, I don't think you're agreeing with this post anymore. Because then why care that cable has irrelevant shows?
Oh my fucking god!
How many times are you going to try to bring it back around the same thing that I already responded to.
Streaming services are a worse deal by losing shows and movies that they already had and splitting off into several services. They didn't use to be like cable, and having a lot of stuff was their advantage, because there is no schedule limitations. A service that had everything has a bunch of stuff each person won't care about, and it still would have everything everyone would ever want. Priced reasonably, it wouldn't be an issue specifically as streaming.
I dunno what's your deal with cable that you want to insist in calling out hypocrisy that doesn't even apply? If you love cable, keep your cable.
they didnt split off, Netflix's library has grown over time.
Not at all. The number of movies in Netflix has shrunk over the years. You could technically argue that it's trending up again, but it's not even close to how many they had in the early 2010s, and it's not even debatable that many movies and series were taken away so that studios would put it in their own streaming services. There was a lot of Disney and Marvel stuff on Netflix that was taken away, as an example.
