Plus we won't have to wait for a new episode every week.

That's one of the biggest problems, really. They want to dump an entire season of original programming in one sitting. It stifles discussion, prevents a zeitgeist. Never mind that many of the conventions that characterize the medium come from the simple fact that we have to wait between new episodes.

The other huge problem being how too large a sector of the American viewing audience has used it to replace cable and home video rather than supplementing it. It's kind of like what GameStop and their used games policies are to video gaming but for television and cinema. Yeah, it's a slick and convenient service, but so convenient that the people who make the entertainment that I like find it harder to make a buck every year.
