> It is therefore in the provider's interest to make you satisfied with less and/or cheaper content. After getting annoyed by their interface that was showing 80% of content I have already seen, I've come to a realization: Their incentive is not even to make me watch crap. No! Their best outcome for them is for me to watch nothing and still pay. Showing me old shows gives me the warm feelings and make me associate them with Netflix, making me keep the subscription even Hypnodrones are corporate dreams

Personally I wouldn't even bother with old shows on netflix since they could go away, and do, all the time. I download and put on my local plex instance, especially with bangers like The Office, there's no harm done. Netflix et al are good for those high profile miniseries you want to watch once and then never again. The rest, download and enjoy without ads, without dark patterns, especially content that kids watch (youtube).
