Edit: To clarify, the above is advice for execs and marketing types. Alternatively, as a listener, don't believe any marketing you read.
What if I want the same service I originally signed up for and not this bait and switch crap. I didn't ask them to make their own shows and get rid of good ones. Why should I have to pay extra for it?

Cancel Netflix. Great idea.
That's not why I got Netflix. I got Netflix so I could binge watch every episode of TNG. Now do I enjoy some Netflix originals? Absolutely. But I would rather just have a massive back catalogue of old TV to watch.
You can't see how this could be annoying? "Do something else" isn't a replacement entertainment service for when people have finished their work and been outside already.
That's highly dependent on your computer's operating system, web browser, HDMI cable, monitor HDCP version, whether your CPU was made by Intel or AMD, which generation of Intel CPU you have, and probably some other factors which I haven't ran into.
I fail to see this as a cynical attempt to squeeze more money out of consumers. Netflix is cheap. Really, really cheap. They're putting a ton of money into original content. The streaming quality is fantastic.
No, it's not all amazing content. How much f'n content do you need? Get off the damn couch, go outside, get some work done, whatever.
