I’ve never heard of it, and my wife & I are on Netflix multiple times a week.
As a side note, other streaming services that took their stuff off of Netflix to make their own service because “hurr durr we want that money!”, have discovered that it’s hard to run and not always profitable. There are a LOT of things that have been gone off of Netflix for awhile that have suddenly started to show back up because content owners have discovered that it’s much easier to let Netflix deal with the infrastructure and just get paid. I remember when Netflix had almost everything you could want to watch in one place, and it was glorious! If you’ve cancelled over the lack of content, maybe give it another look. If you cancelled over the cost, maybe it’s more worth it now?
I’m not a Netflix shill, I just remember the days when it was awesome because of the massive selection, and I’m hopefully seeing it slowly coming back around.
The massive selection existed because cable users paid for it. The big companies made content based on cable customers. Then licensed to netflix for extra profit just like they licensed to other countries' broadcasters for extra profit.
Then netflix killed the cable income, so it wasn't profitable to make these shows, netflix wouldn't pay the cost of licensing these shows for the actual cost so the licenses dropped and everyone had to make their own service's.
Rather, it's netflix that is finding out that it's difficult to make good shows, they lived on licencing other people's shows, paid for by cable, then when they killed that money source they are struggling to produce good enough content to make their service worth it.

No thanks, they ruined the witcher and they're dead to me.
