To better understand your use case, I'm wondering how you would like to navigate an A-Z list. Is there a specific reason for a full list, or would you rather be able to search and display only content that is available on your service selection?

Personally I like A-Z listings to browse. I don't always know what is available and I don't want to have to depend on someone else to show me a small subset of options based on what they want me to see or even what they think I want to see (recommendations). If I'm paying for a service I want to see all the options that I'm getting in exchange for my money and then I will choose for myself what I want to watch.

An A-Z listing of all titles is something people have been asking Netflix for since day one, but they refuse to provide it. It's partly now because they are embarrassed about the quality/quantity of what they offer. That's not all though. They want to decide what you will watch. They want to be able to promote certain content over other content. This is why you see the same titles over and over again in multiple categories. They don't want their new shows to have to compete for views with all of their older shows so they basically hide most of their catalog behind a search box. It's easier for Netflix when subscribers watch their new/promoted content right away. It makes it faster for them to figure out how audiences like their new content. It helps them maximize ad spending and control/manage social media conversations about their new shows. They have their reasons for inconveniencing us, I just don't care about them.

Every once in a while I'll go into Netflix and search for randomish three letter combinations then scroll through what they have. Eventually, as you keep scrolling, they start ignoring what you searched for and just shove whatever they are promoting in the list. It takes ages, but every time I do it, I never fail to find things I'm interested in but had no idea were on the platform because netflix wouldn't show them to me.

That's very good insight. Thank you for taking the time to provide your input, I really appreciate it. We'll do our best to continuously improve the product, and this is definitely enticing enough to keep track of and consider implementing in the future.

I want to be able to select 'I have Hulu, Netflix, Apple+, Amazon' and get an A-Z list of every movie/series I have access to, and then be able to filter that using tags or categories. I don't ever want to see stuff that I'd have to pay extra for, like Hulu if I decide to pay extra for Showtime, or Amazon if I decide to pay an extra $5 to rent it.

Gotcha, that makes sense! Thanks for providing additional info.
