We've already hit "peak content" for Netflix, which I define as "more hours of new content released that I'll watch in a year."
I would estimate I watch about 200 hours a year, Netflix is releasing 1,000 hours of content this year[0]. This trend will only accelerate, especially considering all of the other providers pouring money into content.
I wish that video content licensing could be regulated similar to radio music, where the license holder receives a flat rate per play (this could be adjusted to be per-minute with modifiers for SD/HD/etc). That would open up a whole new market of streaming websites that could focus on cataloging and recommending content, instead of me having to pay for many websites full of content that I cannot physically spend the time to find the best of. Some streaming devices have cross-service search functionality built in, but it could be much better.

- e40 10y agoThat may be true, but there aren't more hours of content I care to watch. I often can't find anything to watch on Netflix, because I'm picky. I welcome them spending more on content, then I might be able to find something to watch.
