I have a confession to make — I paid for an expensive monthly Netflix subscription for way longer than I probably should have. Netflix is the streaming service that started it all, and it's known for outstanding originals and a standout content library. It's a streaming giant, and if you're only subscribing to one platform, it feels like it should be Netflix, right? I'm not so sure that's true anymore.
For a while, I was paying for Netflix out of obligation rather than value. After all, the streaming wars are well underway, and Netflix's library of content has been thinned as a result. Content rights holders have pulled back their licenses for use on their own streaming services, rather than giving them all to Netflix. The shows and movies I paid a monthly fee to Netflix for aren't even on the platform anymore, and recent Netflix originals underwhelmed me.
