If you are a Netflix subscriber, you may have noticed that watching decent films on the streaming site to find is increasingly difficult. This is not a case of your tastes develop: not only a catalogue of companies shrinks, but many of its highest-rated films disappear.
Streaming-watchers have some investigating the matter. It looked at the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) to find top 250 films, which appear on Netflix. Surprisingly, there were only 31, or about 12 percent.
Two years ago, Redditor Clayton_Frisbe performed the same test. It showed that there were 49 or 20 per cent, the IMDBs top 250 movies on Netflix. What does the number 8 percent in just two years gone.
There are two reasons for this decline: the cost of the licensing deals and Netflix-focus on the creation of original content. Company CFO David Wells Netflix said at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference last month half of his library of in-house productions will be made in the next few years. He added that it “one third to one half of the” already exists.
Their own productions can be expensive, but it is a non-recurring expenses and the shows/movies in Netflix library remain indefinitely. While license transactions with distributors with recurring costs, and if a contract lapses, the content is gone.
While some of the best shows on Netflix by the company itself – foreign things, House of cards, Luke Cage, daredevil, is the new black orange – and it is now some high-quality films, such as beasts of no. nation, produce not everyone is pleased about the move away from content created by external Studios.
At Netflix contract with Starz ran in 2012, he lost more than 2000 films, even though CNN, that Starz only 2 percent reported contents of the airtime. The site expire lost other high-profile films last year as his deal with cable network EPIX was allowed to bring Hulu, to abandon the Treaty.
Outside of the States, the problem of the decreasing films is even worse for Netflix subscribers. License agreements mean, the selection is strictly limited in comparison to the United States, thus the use (and the recent crackdown on) VPNs, geographic restrictions to get around. The problem could be worse if EU proposals to force Netflix, more European films and TV shows show green light – potentially push US most popular are given.
But the fact remains, the Netflix boast more subscribers than any other movie streaming service, so expect more original shows and less Hollywood blockbusters the time flies by.
