Well, I can tell the Netflix CEO why they have lost me as a subscriber:

- Their original content is not terribly appealing to me.

- They lack much of the content I want to watch (and in Germany the selection of content is much, much smaller to begin with).

- They have a horrendous user interface. Perhaps I’m in the minority, but I like lists. And even one big list with all the content Netflix offers would be far superior to their interface. I’m not interested in their recommendation algorithms or their peculiar categorization, I want to sift through their metadata on my own terms. Give me a big, filterable list. (That is something that bugs me about every streaming service: you are heavily restricted when it comes to searching and filtering.)

I have found that my local library has actually a very good selection of DVDs and Blu-rays. So they have become a reliable source of content. Other than that I occasionally buy used or new media cheaply. And for special interests (Anime) I have the net.
