And now they've started flipping the cover art even in My List every time you wrap around. It's important to keep in mind that there are some Dark Patterns in Netflix to try to fool you into thinking there is more back inventory than there really is. There was always a prominent and large section dedicated to recent releases but once you wandered off into Sci Fi or Action or Horror, there were a lot of classics and quite a few B movies available. It could very much be a function of town size, and year. Let me finish what I'm in the middle of and promote your stuff afterwards, or at least have a consistent shortcut to get to the continue watching category much more easily. I get it, you're creative Netflix, and you want to promote stuff but that's not as helpful as consistency. An endless amount of categories and lists seem to be invented all the time and are at the top of the interface where my "continue watching" category should be every single time. In Netflix, not only is it hard to find the last thing I was watching, but everything else is mixed together and worse: it moves around nearly every time I open the app. Everything else is well organized too, with good separation between the list of all content in categories vs the content they're promoting. When I go into the HBO app, it's one swipe and one click to continue watching the last thing I was watching. I think part of it is the library science side of it. I'm finding myself in HBO way more than Netflix these days. And obviously if you live somewhere with shitty connectivity (basically the entire rural US), then by-mail might be your ONLY real option. If you want better quality, DVD/BR by mail is the best option. If you want a deep library of rentals, DVD/BR by mail is still better. This is just straight-up rent-seeking bullshit, and it didn't (and couldn't) happen when movies were tied to a physical object. Sometimes something won't be available for rental anymore, but remains in the list as a purchasable (ha) item.

We mostly use Apple's movie rental system, because the quality is better than Netflix, but you still get the availability shifts. A person living in an urban area had a larger selection of movies available for rent in 1999 than they do today because the first sale doctrine protected the video rental business, but streaming is governed by different agreements - which leads to ridiculous "availability windows." The implicit promise - actually, occasionally made EXPLICITLY in marketing - of high-speed broadband was that everything would be available, but the reverse has proven true.
