Do you ever scroll through Netflix for what seems to be hours and find nothing that piques your interest? With such a massive catalog, this shouldn't be possible, as the streamer is carefully designed to target every viewing demographic. No matter how many corners of the market it branches out to, from reality television and live sports to prestige, Oscar-worthy cinema, Netflix seems to be forever trapped in an artificial void run by an algorithm.
Netflix's Abandonment of Licensed Content Dampened Its Ingenuity Netflix's evolution from being a DVD mail-order service to a digital media player, then to a major film and television studio, is astounding.

The Excess of Original Content Buries the Netflix Library Close Back in the"Wild West" days of Netflix, a loose period that ended circa 2015, there was hardly any limit to the number of movies and shows you could watch in their diverse catalog. Editorially speaking, when I was forming into a budding cinephile, I could rely on Netflix to provide me with essential classics like Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Pulp Fiction.
