The Netflix cost-per-content is only sustainable in a world where everyone consumes the same content, because there are incredible economies of scale (where you can broadcast the same TV show to 2 billion people).

People who want a world which HAS niche content are going to have to cough up more -- I'd like to think most people here are in that camp.
