That doesn’t make sense to me.

There are 200,000 movies, and Netflix and others catalogue 2000 of them. If you think of a movie to watch there’s literally 1% chance that it will be available for streaming.

I have almost never watched a movie I seeked out on the streamers. It’s the other way round, the streamers offer me some movies and if I’m interested I watch it. But their catalogues are laughably small. Completely incomparable to the music streaming catalogues which are really vast.

Nitpick, but you are off by about one order of magnitude for the number of movies available on Netflix. It's closer to 20,000.
