"When Netflix shipped DVDs to customers, there were about 100,000 to choose from. Streaming...has reduced that to about 6,600 US titles." -- NYT 2023-08-13
@dx Even as someone very ready to believe this, I do wonder about these numbers. For example, the Sopranos was many DVDs, but presumably only one streaming entry -- do these numbers account for that, I wonder.
@johns Finally a fact to support what I knew in my heart to be true.
There are many movies you just can’t stream. Not on Netflix, not as rentals, nothing. And not weird obscure titles either.
Similar problem exists in music streaming. It makes me wish I could be bothered setting up my own music and video storage system
