If I have to search twice and use two different web sites anyway, why would I bother sticking with Netflix? This just gives me more reasons to look into their competitors.

He even has the audacity to flat out lie to us, claiming that making the services more expense and less convenient is somehow better for us.

Hopefully when the board fires Hastings, they’ll replace him with someone competent who actually cares about retaining customers.

Not surprising, considering how big of a hit Netflix stock has taken. Probably an over-reaction.

I bet they are splitting them so Qwikster can basically wallow as Netflix, circa 2000. All new features and bells and whistles will still go to Netflix, and they won’t touch Qwikster. That, or they’ll sell it off entirely and wash their hands of it.

Yeah, they need to drop that W now. It’s already driving me crazy.

The name ‘qwikster’ is so Y2K though. I hate it.
