Netflix is turning into cable TV::After the loss of behind-the-scenes talent and the acquisition of rights to WWE, Netflix is starting to feel more and more like basic cable.

How? I remember cable and it was more like paid YouTube.

Netflix is actually adding content I want to see recently. And it's still the only streaming service that has no ads or is constantly blocking half it's library behind a channel paywall. Every time I want to watch something on Prime it's behind yet another channel I have to pay for.

I'm not a wrestling fan but I used to be, so I hope the Netflix deal also includes some of the old library from the 80s and 90s
