I'd be more satisfied with Netflix and other streaming services operating in my country if these would offer wider content catalogs not limited by licensing agreements - with ability to rent it, as classic vhs or dvd rental was working (no idea if that was already a thing on Netflix - it operates here since 2016). I had no clue that N. had Family Guy until I read on 3rd part site that it's being pulled out without any information it was there in first place. We're paying same money for the service but available content is different; instead of popular series known and aired in tv, we're getting some cheap uknown fillers. So you see the problem here.
Sadly, such rental it's not going to happen because companies want to hold their deck of "cards" and refuse to share it with other tables in this video streaming casino.

- vertex-four 8y agoNote that Netflix in their mainstay countries is also full of filler - there’s actually only a limited catalogue of well-known TV and movies in general. That’s a huge part of why they’re doing their own shows now, so that they don’t have to fight for licensing.
