- burkaman 4y agoObviously not literally everything was there, but for example Disney stuff was and now it's on Disney+, NBC stuff is now on Peacock, CBS stuff is now on Paramount+, etc. etc. I'm sure it's true in quantitative terms that new streaming services are net new content, but there's a very long list of popular movies and shows that used to be on Netflix and no longer are, and a very long list of publishers that use to make new content available on Netflix and no longer do. A very abridged list of existing content that Netflix lost: Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Disney movies, The Office, Parks and Rec, The West Wing, Lionsgate movies, Doctor Who, 20th Century Fox movies like X-Men, ABC Shows like Scandal, Naruto, most Star Trek shows, and on and on All of this is regionally dependent I think, some things are probably still available outside the US.
- spullara 4y agoThe content you are talking about wasn't on Netflix all the time. They were constantly churning the catalog and still do. There are shows from some of those places right now. Netflix has always had a limited catalog based on how much they wanted to spend on licensing. For example, they have CBS shows like NCIS and NBS shows like Seinfeld right now. If Netflix had all the shows all the time it would likely cost as much as all the streaming services combined to support the licensing costs.
