The statistics are simple and remarkable: in January of 2014, Netflix offered its US-based users a selection of 6,494 movies and 1,609 TV shows, for a total of 8,103 titles. As of March 23, 2016, they offer just 4,335 movies and 1,197 TV shows – 5,532 titles in total. That’s 2,571 fewer titles. In other words, Netflix’s catalog has shrunk 31.7% in less than two and a half years!
I now own more movies digitized and in Plex than Netflix’s catalogue. And people wonder why I think you shouldn’t waste money on Netflix. Try to watch the top 250 IMDB films or a few dozen Oscar winner best-picture films on Netflix. Good luck.
Netflix DVD on the other hand is still great!
