#2Can we infer from this that at the end of Q3 they had ~25 million subscribers?
I am not planning to cancel Netflix but I am frustrated at how terrible most of the content is, and how hard it is to find anything with the current interface. I hope they're rethinking their UX and reconsidering their current approach of "License a bunch of really cheap awful content to make it seem like there's a lot of stuff to watch."

The thing that bothers me is how long it takes for content to come to Netflix. For example, in NZ, I still don't have access to season 2 of The Expanse. Remind me again why I'm paying monthly for this service!?

It's really a boom and bust. As Netflix's 3rd party library continue to be siphoned off more people will turn to piracy because they're not going to subscribe to n different services.

Netflix is focused on original content. Their interface is designed to emphasize it as well as licensed movies and TV they think you’ll like. If your home screen is like mine, they barely have room to recommend licensed B-content anymore. It’s not my favorite way to display information, but they manage to display enough interesting material I haven’t seen yet to get me to choose one. Anything beyond that isn’t actually beneficial to me and I suspect I’d be in a minority of users if I refused to watch a good show in my recommended items because I didn’t see 30 recommended good shows.

They had ~110 million subscribers as of Q3 2017

That's a decision you need to answer for yourself. Netflix right now is their original content, their semi-origional content, lead generation for other streaming services, and titles you might reasonably find 50 copies of in the bargain bin of your local Best Buy.

I feel ya.
I'm watching a 2013 TV Series, it's not on Netflix, and I can't find any seeds for it.
