Back before streaming I was using the Netflix DVD plan ripping and dropping them on 4.7g blanks. I had a few binders of just my favorite stuff. I owned all the originals for all the Disney that I could get my hands on and all of my favorite cult classics. But what I was really missing was TV shows. TV shows are just expensive as hell in DVD format.
When streaming hit I finally got around to testing Netflix out. My child got fixated Chuggington. He was halfway through when they pulled it from the streaming service. I started digging around, but at the time it was really hard to find TV content. I eventually managed to get the rest of chuggington. I bought a lifetime subscription to playon, and from then on anytime he started to show a strong interest in a show I would just go ahead and record the whole thing I put it locally on tversity at the time. But Netflix just kept having the same patterns of dropping stuff off. The websites started with these are the things you should watch before they disappear from Netflix. I was just done with trusting them.
Years later the same kind of things happened with Amazon. I remember Sheriff Callie being a real pain in the rump. It went from free streaming to purchase seasons only overnight.
Eventually, Playon abandoned their lifetime client and I just went straight to newsgroup/torrent.
