Definitely check out The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, which is on YouTube and linked to in the article. Once you go back far enough, a lot of great films are in the public domain and you can find them on YouTube, Daily Motion, etc. Streaming services probably don't find much value in them for that reason.

I wonder why not. Imagine a Netflix marketing campaign claiming "we have all the great movies of the early 20th century on our streaming platform!" Maybe target senior citizens. They could just rip the movies from YouTube since they're in the public domain.
