The usual argument, is that, people are just more used to paper, but while that's definitively true, it doesn't do justice to how bad screens are in comparison - for a certain subset of use-cases. Paper is there. It's _very_ easy to interact with, with a _wide_ variety of tools for manipulation.
In relation to Netflix: I've subscribed to Netflix, a year or two ago. I've subscribed to HBO, a couple of months ago. Due to the increasing amount of streaming services, I'm now thinking of reverting back to P2P sharing (torrents) with a proper VPS setup (It's legal on my country of residence). There are several reasons for this - none of those is pricing - which to be fair, is very okay for now - I pay less that 10$/month for both services - I'll probably have to spend more in a personal setup):
- Data freedom - i.e. no way of 1984 disappearing from my library)
- Privacy
- UI/UX-wise stable
- Functionally stable
- An open ecosystem, which means I can hack some tools for it.
I don't find it slow, though.
