I was trying to find an official statement about it, which I'm pretty sure exists since I remember reading about it a while ago, but it seems that the Netflix help has changed and it's hard to find what you are looking for.
That's not entirely true. You can now find your history and remove the logs of your viewing. They try to force you manually to click on a lot to remove everything but if you do it will remove your viewing history and revert to showing you starting at the beginning of episodes. I confirmed this on my account.
If you have any semblance of experience with web-programming instead of clicking you can run a jQuery function within the browser console. For instance, in Chrome, right click on anything then click on the "Inspect Element" option. It doesn't matter where on the page you do this. Just make sure your on the netflix page with your history. In the console type jQuery('.deleteBtn').click(); and click enter. This command simulates mouseclicks on all your checkboxes to removing everything in your history at once without the annoyance of having to manually scroll down and click on everything. The rows in the table will look like they're updating. If you wait it'll look like the page is hanging but you don't need to let the page reload. After you follow the steps, give the page about 2-3 seconds then refresh the page-the previously displayed history records should be gone. Rinse and repeat until all your viewing history is gone.
Note if you want to only do this for one particular series, don't use the above command. Netflix has a way to remove your history for a particular series in two clicks. Click once to remove an episode, then it gives an option to remove history for an entire series.
They don't. The film or series is wholly owned by Netflix after production if it's a Netflix Original, or has had its licence purchased at a flat cost for a fixed period of time and may be renewed in future if it's popular.
Netflix apparently usually pay upfront for at least two seasons of a netflix original show, and have a business model comparable to more conventional subscription TV (like Cable) when dealing with series' that aren't Netflix Originals. That is, they buy the right to "air" it for a period of time.
In some cases maybe a netflix original film would be cinema suitable, but the series' likely would not, and by limiting the shows to their own platform they provide content that cannot be found anywhere else. Meaning they attract subscribers simply by exclusivity.
There are several ways you can invest in the world's largest entertainment companies, such as Walt Disney, Netflix, and Live Nation. Adding these companies can diversify your portfolio and help you mitigate your risk of loss. If you're interested in investing in them, consider purchasing stock directly in entertainment companies through a brokerage firm or online account. This includes American depositary receipts. You can also purchase shares of mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have these companies in their portfolios.
An American depositary receipt is a certificate that represents a number of shares of a foreign company. ADRs trade on American stock exchanges just like American public companies. They allow investors to buy and sell shares in companies in which they would otherwise have no access while allowing foreign companies to raise capital.
There are many investment opportunities that exist beyond your borders. Investing internationally can help you diversify your portfolio and spread out the risk. But regulations can make it difficult to take advantage of these options. So how do you do it? Consider investing in mutual funds and ETFs that have international companies in their portfolios. You can also purchase American depositary receipts of foreign companies. These certificates, which represent a specific number of shares, trade on American stock exchanges just like the stock of an American company.
After its Q1 2020 earnings were released on Wednesday, a letter to shareholders stated that coronavirus was impacting its business in three clear ways. Naturally one of them is the inability to make new productions and resulting in a slowdown of new material. The next saw the company announce it had added 15.77 million new paid international subscribers, versus the 7.2 million forecasted. An increase in sales that would make any company very envious right now.
The company gave the example of its Brazilian business where on a dollar basis its subscription plan used to cost $8.50 but is now only producing $6.50 of revenue. That 23.50% fall is down to the fall in the value of the Brazilian Real versus the US Dollar.
How can companies including the likes of Netflix protect themselves against such detrimental currency movements. One simple method is protecting by fixing your future rates of exchange via a Forward Contract. For such contracts, it is important to make the right hedge decision including what amount, percentage mix and timings of your expected revenues.
A lot of clients at Clear Treasury are reacting to this uncertainty by reviewing their historic FX hedging decision making. Typically we are now seeing these companies taking a more conservative approach seeking to create certainty on their future rates of exchange by hedging 50% of their future expected cash flows with Forward Contracts, which results in halving their exposure to future volatility whilst remaining flexible should the business landscape further deteriorate and impact business revenues.
Redbox
Redbox rents physical discs through strategically located kiosks inside retail stores. You may have already seen them in your local drug store or grocery market; the all-red kiosks are hard to miss. To rent a title, you walk up to a kiosk, make your selection, and pay for it. For added convenience, you can also use the Redbox Web site or its mobile app (iPhone and Android) to reserve a movie at a specific Redbox kiosk. A search for Redbox kiosks showed six kiosks within four miles of us and two kiosks were within a mile. Prices can vary slightly depending on your region, but it's right around $1 plus tax. The catch with Redbox rentals is that they have to be returned by 9 p.m. the following day.

Mobile apps: iPhone and Android for reservations
Cost: $1 plus tax, per title
Greencine
Like Netflix, Greencine movies are delivered and returned by mail without any late fees. However, Greencine caters to a more selective moviegoer crowd than Netflix. Greencine has a large collection of indie, foreign, anime, and documentary films. That's not to say that it doesn't have mainstream movies. A quick search showed "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part I," "Battle: Los Angeles," and "Little Fockers," among its available titles. It should be noted that Greencine happens to offer adult titles as well, unlike Netflix. Greencine also offers a limited number of video-on-demand titles, but they are not a part of the subscription and are charged a la carte. Greencine doesn't typically offer free trials, but prices start at just $9.95 for the one-DVD-out plan. Greencine isn't a better deal than Netflix, but if you're a fan of the genres it specializes in, you might want to give it a shot. Keep in mind that its service is for the U.S. only.

Blockbuster
Blockbuster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2010. Though they don't have the same physical presence they once had, Blockbuster's rent-by-mail service and stores are still operating. Mail rentals start at $11.99/month for one disc out and go up to $19.99/month for three discs out. For disc-only rentals, Netflix's prices are still cheaper, even after the price hike. Blockbuster mail rental memberships also include five free disc exchanges at physical Blockbuster stores. While this was a nice advantage when they had 7,000 stores, the number of stores is less than half that now.
With Dish Network's acquisition of Blockbuster assets in April of this year, further closures are all but guaranteed. One advantage that Blockbuster does have over Netflix or Redbox is the earlier availability of new rentals (up to 28 days sooner). Interestingly, Blockbuster offers some seven-day mail rentals without a subscription for slightly more than the title's on-demand price. Blockbuster's on-demand titles cost up to $3.99 for new releases. The on-demand service supports a fair number of devices but does not support the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. We didn't initially include Blockbuster on our list because of its bankruptcy status but decided to add it since it is still in operation, for now. If Blockbuster appeals to you, we recommend you take advantage of its services while you can because the company's future is still unknown.

Public library
Have you been to your local public library lately? If not, you may be in for a surprise. Many libraries lend out DVDs for a week at a time. While they won't always have the latest releases or the largest selection, you may run into a movie you wanted to watch that was released just six months ago. Many libraries even have online access, allowing you to search for the title before going in to borrow it.

Amazon Instant Video
Amazon Instant Video has a wide selection of movies and TV shows available to rent on a per-title basis. Most new movie releases cost $3.99, and TV episodes are $1.99. In addition to TV episodes from broadcast networks, Amazon offers shows from cable networks like Bravo, HBO, and Showtime. Catching up on "Top Chef," "Dexter," and "Entourage" is just a few clicks away. As a bonus, paying members of the $79 Amazon Prime shipping membership have access to more than 6,000 instant movie and TV titles, at no additional charge. Amazon Instant Videos can be viewed on a computer or on a TV, through an intermediary device like Roku, TiVo, or Google TV. Some Internet-connected TVs also have access as well. Paid instant video rentals must be viewed within 24 or 48 hours of starting the video, depending on the listed restrictions of the particular title. Also, instant video rentals must be completely watched within 30 days of the rental date, at which point they will expire.
