I am one of the few subscribers that doesn't stream and watches DVDs that are mailed to me. I am on the 3 at a time plan. Up until 3-4 months ago, the discs would arrive the day after they were mailed, allowing me to watch up to 6 a week. Now, it takes 2 days to receive them, and I am lucky if I can get 4 in a week. They changed the location the discs were shipped from "in state" to the next state over. Netflix didn't bother to notify me of this prior to doing it.

I use Netflix to watch things with friends around the world. It's great for that. However, one thing that is so annoying is the "Are you still watching this title?" message that interrupts playing shows. If I am paying for Netflix and I have it on, what does it matter if I am actively sitting there watching it? I work from home and have it playing in the background often. But, I constantly have to get up and click that I'm still watching it. Why? Just let it play! I'm so sick of it, that I'm looking for alternatives.

Netflix used to be the BEST streaming service. Generally speaking, their servers are the quickest and the user interface is the friendliest out of all that I used (HBO Max, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, etc.) But their content is straight up trash. I respect anyone who wants to disagree, but as a younger millennial (currently in my early 30s), Netflix's agenda of pushing their woke content is becoming ridiculous.

First they took away their review system and star ratings years back when I used to use them. That was helpful on what I could watch. Now, they don't provide that option. Then they had the thumbs up/down and they ditched that too. So everyday, they want to push their own crappy content to you and their endless amount of TV shows.

They don't even tell you what movies are foreign and don't make it clear what languages are default so when you start playing, you realize you have to watch subtitles. I'm ok with reading subtitles but not everyone is and it's not always convenient.

Their synopsis writing for their selection is terrible. The synopsis doesn't tell you anything about the movie until you actually watch it and waste your time on some stupid story. A lot of them are also poorly written and don't make sense grammatically which is shocking for a billion-dollar company.

Then, because you can't find out what the movie is about or get an idea from other users/ratings, you have to look it up yourself or end up wasting your time watching their pushed content. They also have some of shuffle feature which shuffles their Netflix original and pushes it onto you.

To add insult, they have the audacity to raise their subscription prices when they have absolutely no content. Unless you want to turn something on for background noise or waste your time laughing at how bad a lot of their content on, don't even bother. I unsubscribed almost a year ago and never looked back and I don't miss Netflix at all. I also cancelled Hulu for the same reason and I'm aiming to canceling Prime Video too. Don't let these media companies control you.

FYI: if it weren't for The Witcher (which I heard they're about to butcher also), 1899 and the Jeffrey Dahmer limited series as of late, this company would have nothing to hang on.

If you're going to raise my price, please raise your quality. There are amazing shows that are originals on this site and they are really great. I highly recommend watching the majority of Netflix original series'. The problem is, they put up A LOT of TV shows that were amazing, but got canceled so it'd be nice to have some sort of closure to that and for them to at least try to pick up some of the shows people are actually asking them to like: Constantine, Survivors, Resurrection, etc... Cliff hanger endings are no fun. Also, the amount of time between the Jessica Jones seasons is too long. Also, you need a better selection of movies... especially horror. The price raise was annoying, but I like the service so I'll keep with it for now. I also was screwed out of a lot of money because of their old DVD plan. They kept mine on even though DVDs had gone out and just kept recharging me over what I should've paid since I NEVER got DVDs from them. If they'd return that extra money, I probably would be giving them a higher review right now.

UPDATE: I have noticed that Netflix is also only putting up one season of shows that have multiple seasons or putting episodes out of order and that is annoying.
