Maybe for House, but in general they are going to continue to drop shows not owned or produced by them. Netflix has something like only 50 percent of the non-Netflix content they had 2-3 years ago. They are invested in original programming rather than paying for the rights of other shows because it will be more profitable in the long run.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

And movie? Meh. I've got Prime. And I've still got physical discs from Netflix. I can "rent" whatever.

Yea, Prime and HBO are almost enough for us; Netflix rounds out the options but that's decreasing, and then we hunt down specific shows like Louie or Samantha Bee as needed. If Netflix is moving more towards content production, I wonder if they'll ever license one of their shows to another provider? 'Coz Amazon could somehow pick up Kimmy Schmidt, it's byebye Netlix.
