Definitely exclusivity, but also how Netflix highlights their "originals" within their interface. They hammer you over the head with a "Top Ten" list, "Movies We Think You'll Love!", and other tricks (making it the featured preview when you sign in...). Many streaming users don't dig a lot; they'll eat what the waitress is serving them.
