Not surprising. Their catalog is thin and mediocre, and they add new content at a slow drip. Their interface is torture. I would drop them if it weren’t for family pressure.
More whining from me: the way they present movies insults the films. They begin on their own, and the closing credits are mashed up with advertisements for other content.
- PaulHoule 5y agoYeah, the article misses that point. Disney+ isn't just "a competitor", it's got better content.
- fetus8 5y agoIt's all about content. I've unsubscribed from most of the major streaming services due to lack of content that I want to watch. Have fallen back into torrenting and collecting physical media again. The only streaming services I'm subscribed to come for "free" via my mobile phone plan.
- PaulHoule 5y agoI've had better satisfaction with "Amazon Instant Video" where you can pay to buy or rent a movie to stream. Personally I have a backlog of at least a year of movies, TV shows, and video games so the idea of scanning through the interface at a site like Netflix to find "something to watch" is foreign to me. (An exception to that was I found that OTA Comet TV plays three episodes of "Quantum Leap" four nights a week and I "appointment view" much of it -- but "Quantum Leap" happens to cover terrain that I'm particularly interested in, the relationship of art and life. I could stream it or get it on DVD but I prefer lame ads with beta bearded males and personal injury lawyers over a nerfed soundtrack.)
