Quick! Say out loud, right now, the name of a movie you want to see! Say it! Not one in theaters! Not one that came out within the last year! Something older than a year, that you didn't see but want to. Come on, clock's ticking.
I'll bet you didn't say a name. That's a HARD task for humans, dredging up some movie name that you've only seen a few times in your life.
You certainly can't use, say, advertising or current events to find a movie, because Netflix doesn't have any current movies.
For anyone outside the U.S. there isn't even a queue feature, so there's absolutely no way to save a movie idea that you have now for later watching except by writing it down on a post-it note and sticking it to the television.
Oh, and don't think about using it to watch porn or anything, since you can't disable or get rid of the RECENTLY WATCHED section which will reveal your TV-watching habits to anyone who might ever sit down at your TV or computer.
And don't bother to make it compatible with Linux; people who are technically inclined enough to use this new-fangled "streaming" only use Windows or Mac.
Several websites offer better experiences than Netflix (combining Rotten Tomatoes ratings; showing lists of new stuff Netflix just got in; that sort of thing). Netflix does not seem interested in stealing their ideas.
