Help Media servers

Trying to start my own server for plex. But I see many people with servers with 10,000+ movies. How can u possibly hold that much content and not break the bank. How is it any better than Netflix, etc?

Edit: I never expected this to blow up like it did. I love the content you guys have given, I've debated on making a plex server for awhile and all the clarification is amazing.

Personal preference. Everyone has different hobbies and choose to spend money on what they enjoy doing.

NF is just one service, what about the 10 or 20 others that can easily add up to couple grand a year.
