Maybe I'm weird, but it seems like netflix has got worse over time. It used to be magical, now it feels a bit clunkier and the selection might be getting bigger, but it's not getting any better.

Most of the time now I redbox anything new, hulu what's on current tv, and only worry about netflix for when I want to burn through an older show.

Maybe it was the price hike or the whole period of bad PR that ensued after that, or maybe it's that Amazon Prime keeps looking more appealing every day. Either way, Netflix feels like it lost whatever it was that made it magic in the first place.

They lost a good deal of their "premium" content when their cross licensing agreement with Stars expired. This included many of what most people would consider their mainstream movies.

That being said, at the current price it is still an incredible bargain compared to direct purchase of even a few of the shows on the system.
