All my recents searches for old movies were vain. Last Sunday, I wanted to see 'Little Miss Sunshine (2006)', result: not available (in Canada anyway). Unsubscribing has started to cross my mind.

When I subscribed for Netflix, the motivation was a large catalog of old movies, cool stuff from other countries (I remember watching TV series from Iceland that were great), no ads. But the greatest selling point: it was more convenient than pirating.

Now, it's all about pushing Netflix produced content down my throat using whatever trick possible, and pirating is again more convenient (large catalog, no ads) even if less user-friendly.

So yeah, "outsmarted" is really pushing it. I'm not the only one getting bored by the current Netflix direction.

The current Netflix direction is the only one possible; one big catalog only worked before they had proven the viability of mass streaming—once that happened competitors bidding for exclusives (and content owners reserving material for their own services) was inevitable.

I cancelled my subscription a year and a half ago because of the lack of good content. I've gone back to torrents.
