I don't know about US, but here in CA the Netflix catalog is way better than the alternatives (expect maybe for Crave, but that's more expensive)

- rightbyte 5y agoDepends on what we are comparing to. I used to have a movie rental around the corner. For like 3USD I could rent any movie I wanted from all major publishers. Old and new. 9USD/month for a rather small selection of those is just bad. The buffet fallacy is strong with how people value all you can eat streaming vs. one of rentals.
- FalconSensei 5y agoIf you want a specific rental, you can still get that with apple/google/amazon, right? You don't need to sign up for the all-you-can-eat buffet. Although I kinda agree a bit with prime-video channels. Apart from the basic service you get (if you have prime), you can get specific add-ons for more focused content. Another note on the rental: I really don't understand why we are able to rent movies, but not TV shows. For TV, you have to buy the episode/season, and buying a 20-min TV episode costs same or more than renting a 2 hour movie. I guess I'll just get it 'somewhere else' if it's not available on my platforms and I really want it
