It's like all the services are increasing their price and decreasing the content/quality. I find that's issue with startup culture where they have lost billions of dollars in name of growth and now they need to recover
Earlier quoted context omitted.
They could probably honestly remove 10% of the catalog and nobody would miss anything. It feels like 80% of the catalog is Netflix homebrewed garbage, another 10% is foreign dubbed garbage, and the remaining 10% you've probably already seen. I honestly have never thought harder about outright cancelling Netflix. I'm very close... Every time I log in to watch something, Netflix recommends TV Shows and Movies they know…
> another 10% is foreign dubbed garbage, I'd honestly pay them extra for a good UI that showed ONLY that. Limiting yourself to english is extremely shallow.
Most of the Netflix-made catalogue is garbage regardless of language.

I'm going to make some shameless generalisations here, but a better pilot country would be one that is less ecnonomically developed where people are more likely to have outdated hardware, not the US. > 10% of the catalog unavailable I wonder if…

You can't really complain, though. It was nice to have better-quality content for cheap while it lasted, so we can just appreciate that. But now you actually have to pay what things are worth. I don't see the problem.
