I don't find NetFlix compelling because after I watch great movie X the service cannot recommend me another movie that is of the same caliber.

Also, there are a lot of independent movies and TV shows on NetFlix. And they suck. Horrible acting and plot but the cover is sometimes good enough to trick you into wasting time taking a look.
