Netflix made the argument some years ago that the world and their user base was switching to streaming. To the point of proposing to split disk and streaming into separate businesses (not just separate subscriptions). I was dubious given the comparatively poor quality and degree of choice on their streaming service at that time. Since then, instead of improving, I've seen that choice -- on balance -- get worse. A few TV shows I'm interested in have shown up -- and a whole bunch I'm not at all interested in; while many I might be interested in remain absent. At the same time, the movie selection has grown notably worse, with many titles I dug out of the mess and queued up disappearing before I got to them. Now I read that the DVD service is indeed in decline, as well. The most telling bit of the OP story for me seems to be this quote: Check out this 2013 Netflix PR video communicating that the company should no longer be looked upon as a massive movie library. What it really is, it says, is the “Internet’s largest television network.” Well, I'm not interested in remaining a customer of what is increasingly some sort of Netflix "television channel". As with all the other "streaming", "rental" online services I've tried. I'm coming to the conclusion that they are not worth the investment nor the fees, for me. I'm being driving back to maintaining a personal library. And perhaps to reinforcement my support for my public library, where the membership's interests are still primary.
