Same reason a lot of miss Blockbuster nights from our youth. Now rather than 50000 channels of nothing, we scan through endless streaming options. My only reprieve is that Netflix still offers their DVD service.
Wait, seriously?
Anyway, it's no where as good as is used to be. After the rise of streaming they shut down many fulfillment centers and quit mailing out on Saturdays. My quick 3 day turn around turned into 5-7 days. Eventually I canceled the service once I figured out that Redbox could in fill in my new release rental needs for less money (with coupons anyway).
now the same thing is happening with netflix. i'm not sure if it's that the selection has greatly diminished, or if it's the algos (hbo max suggestions are pretty good imo)
i think the smartest thing these services do is allow you to share accounts. i would have canceled a while back but my family is using it too
