This would be strange if Netflix didn't have enough of easily accessible good content.
When after finishing work we want to watch “a movie”, it's much easier to choose a Netflix recommendation than to do a half an hour reasearch online and then wait for the movie to be downloaded.
Now add to this time, energy, and expertise needed for looking up and trying pirating options, figuring out technical aspects, paying for a VPN, doing maintenance… Very few can and are willing to do all that.
Yeah but the problem is, I was watching a lot of really bad movies on Netflix, just because they didn't have anything I wanted to watch. So I was sitting there, feeling bored or annoyed or disgusted by the shit movies... I actually felt depressed by what I watched even!
So I was like... I'm paying for this, and I feel like shit most of the time when watching it.
No more.
That's fair, if this was your case. No point in paying for something you don't like.
As much as I hate old titles disappearing, I also enjoy the new content Netflix offers. To each their own, I guess.
Netflix produced content is either garbage or cancelled after first season. (or both)
The only quality content Netflix has is made by someone else and more than 20 years ago.
