To each their own, but I don't have a problem with spending the $20 and
using the service (and this is key) they way they reasonably intended it to
be used. You have to admit that you really aren't using it in the spirit
they intended it. Which is your right, of course.
If you're looking for 20-25 rentals for your $20, yea, you probably will get
angry with Netflix. But if you get your three movies, watch them over (say)
five to seven days, send them back, etc, you'll never have a problem with
them. But if you want a movie a day, yea, you'll get slowed down (and,
rightfully so, in my opinion)
