Not true at all, because in spite of all their content, and being able to find it, they still don't have anything new that I want to watch. I've already seen everything I wanted to watch. Now I debate leaving them because there is no new content. And after all "Content is King".

>All the content in the world won't help them if you spend your time staring at the home screen while bad algorithms recommend the wrong things.

Their algorithms only optimize for the least profitable use case. It doesn't matter what the algorithm wants to suggest if they don't have the content I want to watch, or I've already watched anything worth watching.

Know what their algorithm suggests to me now? Sci-fi in foreign languages that I'm just not interested in because of its low production value and bad writing. But it's all they have left to suggest to me. That and everything I've already watched.

"Content is King".
