It may seem counter-intuitive, but that is what I think it is as well. So, they &quot;show&quot; you only small snippets that they think is relevant to you, in order for you to not have to &quot;need&quot; a full view or search into their catalog. It&#x27;s like expecting a TV channel to show you a full listing of all the things that they&#x27;ve ever played, or are currently playing. You&#x27;d then quickly realize how tiny of a selection it really is, with all the repeats and what not.<p>Netflix&#x27;s movie selection is really abysmal. After finally cutting the cord, going full-legal and all that. And then: &quot;Hmm, I&#x27;d really like to watch movie X&quot;, and then you search for it on Netflix, thinking oh it&#x27;s some relatively-semi-popular movie from half a decade ago, it <i>should</i> be on Netflix. But nope, they recommend you sign up for a DVD plan instead where you can get that movie. Don&#x27;t even expect one of the &quot;new blockbuster&quot; movies on Netflix, not going to happen. For that have to fork out a pay-per-view amount of $$ on Amazon Prime&#x2F;Google Play&#x2F;Itunes.
