Well when sheeple like you dont stop to think about why they would have to increase pricing and then put 2 and 2 together to realize the studios are going to begin gouging them for content, then you might see the bigger picture.

Not only are licensing costs going up, but if Netflix started pointing the finger at these greedy schmucks, they not only would get reamed but because hollywood is so nasty and hateful, they wouldnt sell it to them, but to any competitors instead!

So as for any REAL argument, you lack the intelligence to comprehend, go ahead and go out to the marketplace and find your content for the same price Netlix charges you!

Oh, you cant can you. Well, enjoy your $100= cable bill!

They can add one more lost subscriber once I finish up season four of Mad Men.

The way they went about things was a big FU to their long-term customers like myself. And my response was in kind, including complete cancellation. I don’t know that there is anything they could do to get me back. Amazon video for streaming and Blockbuster Express and/or Redbox work just fine for me.

A good example of what not to do when repositioning your product. Thanks for the valuable lesson Netflix

if a company doesn’t have any REAL argument as to why they’re changing their subscription plans, and ruining a good thing when business is going so well for them – because they want even more money – than they deserve the loss. good.

OctoramaPoll: Netflix lost 800,000 U.S. subscribers in one quarter, and Netflix shares plunged 27% in after-hours trading. What should we learn from this?

Netflix has no worries!! They are coming to Latin America, which includes the Caribbean (Jamaica where I reside)!!

Digicel is ready to host Netflix Servers, as they have cloud Storage facilities at reasonable prices!!!

It’s a huge loss, but I’m still thinking it’s temporary. There really isn’t a big direct competitor with the same brand recognition. Most of their user-base probably doesn’t know what Qwikster even was.

We shot a video about what REALLY happened between Netflix and Qwikster! We’re also giving away the costumes if anyone wants a sweet Halloween costume! Check it out: http://bit.ly/qL5w6G

I dropped Netflix altogether… use Vudu for renting just released movies in streaming format and Amazon’s Prime offering for everything else.

BTW, Steven Howard is making a very good point about net vs. total customer losses.
