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.
Not Netflix's fault. They are trying, it's the cable companies who are overvaluing their stuff.

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.
Is it an ability?

I like to think of it more as a super power!

I always find something to watch, whether it is relatively new or some older movie I never saw and forgot about. With Netflix, Hulu, and all of the other ways to watch TV shows online, I will not be getting cable when I move to Houston at the end of the month. ~$100/month is just crazy.

I think it is. At a time when they could have bet big on the future the CEO and top execs were busy cashing out stock options and shying away from bold moves. Starz said they'd have stayed for a tiered pricing plan that protected their brand. HBO had also said they'd hop on NetFlix if the monthly price went up.
I know a lot of people bitched and moaned when they had a $5 price hike but their subscriber numbers have remained steady and they still are at 22 - 23 million subscribers. LINK
It's not too late for NetFlix, but they better not let Amazon/Google/Apple beat them to the punch. Or maybe that's their plan, maintain the customer base and let one of those 3 break the studios first.

I'm not sure what the term is, but I'd say the average American doesn't have the proper mindset to appreciate films like someone like you does.
