Thousands of movies will be removed from Netflix in the US after the streaming service decided not to renew a deal with distributor Epix.
Removed titles will include the Hunger Games and Transformers movies.
Netflix, which has more than 60 million subscribers worldwide, said it wanted to focus on exclusive content.
...
Explaining the move to subscribers, Netflix's chief content officer Ted Sarandos wrote: "While many of these movies are popular, they are also widely available on cable and other subscription platforms at the same time as they are on Netflix and subject to the same drawn out licensing periods."
Will this change in their library make you more or less likely to subscribe, or continue to subscribe?

I written this before on SN, but I too have totally mined out Netflix's DVD and streaming selection. More and more I watch content on Instructables and YouTube. The more I watch there, the more inspired I feel to undertake my own projects and as I do, the happier I feel generally. For example, I've taken up brass etching and augmented my survival skills with different forms of snare building, etc. Maybe other people will experience this progression, too, and the DIY movement will swell with new practitioners.
