> Maybe Netflix loses the rights and it disappears. That is interesting because it happened to me in the most annoying way possible: I was watching Donnie Darko, a rather obscure movie that requires (or at least for me required) a bit of brainpower to watch. So I watched the first half of it and planned to watch the remainder the next day. Come the next day, and where is the movie? Nowhere to be found.

That happened to me with Stargate SG-1. Was going through it on Netflix and suddenly it disappeared. Eventually resurfaced on Amazon Prime but the video quality is garbage on it for some reason.

  Prime Video quality seems breathtakingly bad to me as well. Even their "high quality, 8GB per hour" setting looks remarkably worse than a 4GB h264 rip, to say nothing of HEVC.

    I actually didn't mean video quality on Amazon Prime in general. For example, we just got done watching Mr. Robot on Amazon Prime and I had no issues with the video, personally. But Stargate SG-1 was particularly bad, for some reason. Worse than SD, lots of artifacts.

Hah. I had bookmarked Donnie Darko because, while I had already watched it (good movie, even better soundtrack!) I wanted to watch it again with my wife. I swear it was available the week before I finally decided to rewatch it, then of course it was gone when I wanted it. (By the way, I know this doesn't actually happen, but I swear Netflix sticks in my bookmarks movies and shows I never bookmarked!)

I was mid-way through watching the newly released (on Netflix) S2 of "Derry Girls" and they deleted it mere days after making it available. I was annoyed. Turns out they had messed up the rights. https://www.radiotimes.com/news/on-demand/2020-07-14/derry-girls-season-2-removed-netflix/ https://www.radiotimes.com/news/on-demand/2020-07-14/derry-g...
