I've been using netflix for a bit over a year, just cancelled it this fall.
From what I can see the content is mostly shallow (Hollywood over TCP). Despite them being a global player they totally lack local content. There is a total lack of great French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Korean content (not there would be a lack of good local conent) and hardly anything that is critical of the US. So it's just another US propaganda channel to make the hypocritical US come across as a country with great values (when they're the most vile and terrorist country in the world today).
Also, there is no way of knowing who Netflix shares my search/watch history with. And I have 0 doubt that this info is in the hands of multiple entities we've no idea about.
