Netflix moved cord cutting forward; it's also holding it back

Like lots of people who've cut cable TV, I couldn't have done it without Netflix. For a fraction of a typical cable bill, Netflix provides more TV shows, movies, and comedy specials than I have time to watch. And while I sometimes turn to other streaming services (and my over-the-air antenna) for specific content, most evenings I'll just thumb through the Netflix app until I find something that grabs my attention. Apart from not supporting 4K resolution or a voice-control remote control, Roku's latest streaming stick delivers the best price/performance ratio of any media-streaming device on the market. This is precisely how Netflix wants people to behave.
