For us it was. There was a ten-year period when we had young kids and didn't do anything. Once that was over we caught up with tons of movies we hadn't seen, on Netflix.
Maybe they've never had newer releases, but for seeing nearly everything from 4-10 years ago at one point was very much possible.

- chrisseaton 4y ago> For us it was. This just isn't a truthful statement. Netflix's DVD catalogue was like 100,000 titles. They've never had 100,000 titles on their streaming site. There aren't 100,000 streaming titles anywhere today across all streaming services! "At its peak, in fact, the number of DVD titles possessed by Netflix would have dwarfed the entire streaming libraries of all the major streamers today … combined." https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/netflix/netflix-dvd-service-plan-subscribers-discontinued-closing/ https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/netflix/netflix-dvd-ser... The reason is that the rights are different. https://www.quora.com/Why-does-Netflix-still-have-much-of-its-content-only-on-DVD-rather-than-streaming-online-wouldnt-it-be-cheaper-to-deliver-online-even-the-lesser-requested-films-turning-Netflix-into-a-treasure-house-for-old-film https://www.quora.com/Why-does-Netflix-still-have-much-of-it...
- smm11 4y agoYou're right. I'm lying. I didn't watch any movies. I just have ESP or something.
- chrisseaton 4y agoIt’s pretty hard to judge catalogue sizes from scrolling, so I don’t know how you’d know from just using the services? That article I linked gives actual data. Do you think it’s wrong?
