I use Netflix to discover things I might be interested in, and if I want to keep watching I go to the high seas.

I have all the other mainline streaming apps installed, sans a login. I use it purely for discovery.

I have to say that the frequency of finding something worthwhile on netflix is decreasing...

I personally use Trakt.tv to see popular and trending content. Then you don’t have to pilfer through each individual app or service.

The other plus side is that this is content that people are actually watching (via marking as watched for tracking or scrobbling) so you also get the positive benefit of seeing what people are watching, not just things that Netflix or other providers want you to watch or who has paid the top dollar for your eyeballs.

Well, I did consule a lot of content. Humanity can only produce so many awesome things every day.

We got used to abondance and quality.

It’s more that Netflix accumulated more internal content gatekeepers over time. They became the filters
