Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When Netflix removes stuff with little warning.

Now, don't get me wrong, I still love having Netflix, and I'm not pissed off about them simply removing stuff.  I understand that the stuff that's not their own IP is only temporary.  They sign a contract to have something they don't own put on there for a specific amount of time, and then it's gone and then something else comes on for awhile.  And I know it varies by region.  I understand all that.  That's how it works.  That's fine, and I get that.  I'm not complaining about that.  What I'm complaining about is specifically the fact that they never give you more than a month warning.  That's not much time when it comes to watching big shows.  Why can't they give you advanced warning?  Y'know, enough time to be able to plan ahead and finish big shows with hundreds of episodes.  You can quickly binge something like Last Airbender, but if you get one season into Star Trek DS9 and then you read that it's got a month left, yer f*ckin screwed.  You'd have to watch, like, over 5 episodes a day for a month straight.  Impossible.

And you know what makes it even worse?!  Sometimes the expiration date is shown on the description page, and sometimes it isn't!  Sometimes it doesn't show until you start playing the thing, and then it pops up briefly in the corner!  Other times it shows when you hover of the thumbnail!  WHAT THE F*CK?!!  They can even be consistent with informing us!!  It's BULLSH*T!! 

I've gotten burned several times.  I f*ckin HATE getting invested in a big show and then seeing that it's gonna get yanked.  Sometimes I can squeeze it all in, but sometimes I can't.  I'd rather not watch a show at all then watch part and then just be left hanging forever.  Why can't they just display the expiration date on temporary stuff all the time?!  That's how it should be!  Anything that's not their own IP should have the expiration date displayed on the description page from the very beginning, giving people the ability to plan, to do the math and decide if they have time to finish it.  Why the f*ck can't they do this?  Don't try to tell me that they don't know in advance.  Of course they f*ckin' know.  They know the expiration date before they ever put in on there!  How could they not?  They have to make a deal and sign a contract to do it!  It's not f*ckin' random!  Why can't they just let us know??!! 

This is me every single time I get invested in a show and then they pull the rug out from under me:
