There doesn't seem to be the right niche. Maybe if they restricted it to fiction and documentaries but Vimeo already has that niche covered. Maybe Netflix could acquire Vimeo. btw imo Vimeo has a lot of excellent videos. They're more open to trying new things so sometimes they have something really good or deep that you would never find on YouTube or Netflix.

One thing that can't be discounted is I would use the Netflix version of this over all the others for the simple fact of already having Netflix open on all my TVs or having a shortcut on my remote for it. It might not be in the consumers best interest for one app to have so much power, but I dream of a day when I can use only one for 90% of the things I want to view.
hmm, yeah, I might too once their recommender system gets a little better. It would definitely save time.
