Unfortunately, this would destroy Netflix's subscription service. Why? Because the moment you start having titles that are "exclusive" to pay-per-view, your subscription users would riot, seeing this as just a way to raise fees (see: the uproar when Netflix tried to spin off the DVD business) on "exclusive" titles. It also goes against / dilutes the whole addictive nature of Netflix.

As an aside, the HN guidelines mention you should avoid complaining about being downvoted.

The addictive nature of Netflix?

A more accurate phrase would be the binge-watching nature of Netflix.
