I'm the first to agree the netflix UI has huge flaws.

It's still miles better than going to rent a VHS in a mall.

It's still miles better than buying a DVD online.

It's still miles better than having to download the movie on eMule.

And you do have a small library sample on netflix. It's your front page.

Now people either complain there is nothing to watch (front page not interesting anymore after a while), or too much too watch (the size of the entire lib is overwhelming).

Wait, what ?

Besides, honestly, when you have a full life, where do you get the time to exhaust the netflix offer ? How many hours of video a week must you consume to arrive at a stage where "there is nothing to watch on netflix" ? Because in that case, not only the $15 have been paid for a 1000 times, but also, again, the problem is clearly not netflix.

Which remains me I'm spending too much time on NH today, so, gotta go :)

  [...] or too much too watch [...] Wait, what ?

If my kitchen is bare except for 200 lbs of rice and 200 lbs of onions, do I have too much food or not enough?

Different people.

Nothing requires you to add apples and oranges in the same way as I do. Your most important feature may be my totally unimportant feature, and that's neither your fault nor mine. And as usual gripes are louder than happy purrs.

I was happy with the DVD shop I primarily used; the owner's selection was much better suited to me than Netflix' is. (No I'm not a Netflix customer, but I've used it in a professional capacity.)

And it's still miles better than Hulu, who seem to have this compulsion to make their UI worse and less usable every 6 months or so.
