but the promise of NetFlix was to be much more than it has become.
And what exactly was that promise? Again I have over 500 movies in my queue. Not only that but it's never dipped below 500 in the 4-5 years I've had netflix. I'm always adding something to it.
It's impossible for any one person to have seen everything. There's always something you haven't seen and if not for netflix there's hundreds of movies I would have most likely never seen.

To become a cheaper version of the cable premium channels that you didn't need cable to access. They were at a crossroads last year where they could have gone to a tiered pricing model and kept Starz and probably gained access to HBO, but instead they decided to stick with $8 streaming and buy more rights to TV shows. Again, for $8 I think it's a pretty good value, but for $20 - $30 it could have been even better.

And you probably have a greater ability to appreciate older movies than the average American that has been trained for decades that new releases are what you want to see.

I know time flies, but they haven't been streaming that long yet have they? Or are the 500 movies in your queue including DVDs, because that's a completely different conversation.

It's hard to drop something when it's only $8 a month, but I've definitely been disappointed on Netflix recently.
Used to I could find something to watch in minutes....Now it takes 10-15 minutes if not more to find something, and there are times I search and search and search and can't find anything that I haven't seen already or simply have no interest in seeing. There are A TON of crap movies on Netflix that I have absolutely no desire to watch.
Avid movie-watchers (watch 5+ movies a week) at some point reach a point on Netflix where it's hard to find good stuff that you want to see.
