Maybe I was naive initially, but I have had a few things on my list of things to watch end up expiring on me. Pretty frustrating, especially when a large number of them are expiring at once (like all of the ones that expire today).
I can only assume that this is because a certain content provider signed a 1 year deal with Netflix for the Canadian rights or something, and we are now seeing the downside of what was probably a massive addition a year ago. The part that I still don't understand is why a content provider would not want their content available to paying customers, particularly when reasonable alternatives are either dying (Blockbuster) or aren't really established yet (other streaming services).
