If there ever is anything remotely competitive to Netflix, I'm gone like a shot.
Their "suggestive sell" interface is such garbage. We, the paying customers, should be able to default to a genre search without having to jump hoops every time. We, the paying customers, should be able to hit "not interested" and actually not see suggestions to watch the "not interested" title again. We, the paying customers, should be able to view the available catalog as we choose, not as their manipulative algorithms choose. The only reason we're still with Netflix is because the ad-free version is still affordable, but their content selection system is heavy advertising in and of itself.
Honestly, folks, if you want to watch a couple of movies a week I bet your local public library has a better interface allowing you to choose from new releases and a deep catalog, all for free - you just have to drive by once a week to pick up / drop off your selections.
