I canceled Netflix after 14 years and it feels like the end of an era

• I've been a Netflix subscriber since 2009 when a standard subscription still came with DVDs.
• I canceled my account after the password-sharing crackdown made me realize I wasn't watching as often. 
• I'll probably be back, but it feels like the end of an era with a service I came of age with.

I started getting Netflix's red envelopes in the mail back in 2009.

At first, I'd rent classic movies I either couldn't find or didn't gravitate toward at my local Blockbuster — movies like "Bullitt" and "Charade." As the streaming catalog expanded, I discovered TV shows like "Doctor Who" and "Weeds," and rediscovered old favorites I was too young to truly appreciate when they first aired, including "Twin Peaks."
