It’s not exactly difficult to have more content than those services when they keep fucking around with exclusivity bullshit.

Yeah… when you pull up stats for Netflix library, you learn some things… Like how little content they actually had. Never cracked 7000 movies… And while that may seem like a lot to a lot of people out there. Those of us that remember blockbuster stores, you ignore like 90% of them cause they’re dumb or silly movies that you’d never watch anyway (or stuff you’ve already watched). Then you can put actual numbers to it… If each of these are full bluray rips (which they’re not as far as Netflix goes) they only take up 175TB… It’s not a lot of movies at all.

It’s pretty easy to see how an individual could collect more content than netflix easily. Now add money to the equation… I think it would be possible to collect double or triple netflix easily.
