Why would you promote Netflix using content where at least 90% of it is available on DVD/blu-ray?

Totally different scenario. Netflix is about convenience, immediate access vs. having to go out and buy or rent, or wait for an online order to arrive. Right? I can't stand having to go out to rent games on PSNow... Oh wait. I don't. With Steam, GoG and G2A there is more or less the same immediate access, and often for a very low price. So what is the advantage of PSNow over other PC content prodivers in terms of multiplatform content? Not needing to have it installed; running games beyond your video card or lack thereof; having access to it on your laptop regardless of; being capable of running those same games and saves on a number of TVs and PlayStation devices... Should I go on? There is literally no advantage. Well, maybe one: bad PC ports that run better on console hardware. And then there's PlayStation exclusives like Last of Us, and inFAMOUS, and Uncharted... But those are mostly a gen 8 problem, which is content that is unavailable through PSNow for the mopment. 

And until recently Netflix only had 3rd party content to with which to promote itself. Now that Netflix produces its own content, some of which is among the best quality TV available, they promote their original, exclusive content a lot more. And again, there are exclusives on this list that you will never have on PC.
