Netflix - Not bad! Qwikster - uh, never mind...

whiney just wishes people would find something more worthwhile to criticize than corporations who make their services less convenient, like chillwave for instance

One of the best things about Watch Instantly is when some little movie that Netflix doesn't bother to promote pops up in my instant queue because it's in my DVD queue. I can live without it, and maybe I will also think about hunger in Africa or whatev, but it's still a bummer that it won't happen anymore.

i mean why complain about a company doing the opposite of what people want a company to do when there are people in williamsburg listening to stupid music

netflix, the destroyer

so the dramatic outcry about this isn't at all out of proportion?

it's less absurd than taking vocal pride in your ability to maintain a stiff upper lip in the face of corporate asshattery

considering miccio's twitter feed is like 80% whogivesashit.jpg summaries of what he's watching, i can see how he'd defend generation wahmbulance on this one.

that's a good book title

Whiney is priceless with his "generation wahmbulance" bullshit when he's regularly getting all teary because people talk about music he doesn't like.

it's not generation wahmbulance you asshat, our economy is built on this type of decision-making

"so the dramatic outcry about this isn't at all out of proportion?"

Unless I missed death threats, it seems pretty proportional to me. Company changes service for the worse, people complain about it... unless you mean any outcry is out of proportion in which case yeah it's totally overboard.

haha ok whiney you're really going to stick it to someone has a twitter feed full of summaries of their opinion on entertainment...i agree w/ your orig argument but you're on your own homie

lol

i can't believe anyone would suggest that people shouldn't complain about not getting value from products and services they are paying for

jon you literally had a public nervous breakdown on this board because i thought some "telly advert" you liked was moronic. I'm straight trolling most of the time, and you're the one who has legit freakouts dogg

the sad thing is that whiney will never be able to get rid of the entitled white hipster asshole in the mirror

we should let moonship decide how much everything is worth.

"considering miccio's twitter feed is like 80% whogivesashit.jpg summaries of what he's watching"

This is killing me. Didn't you compile a book of your whogivesashit twitter summaries?

xp that's the opposite of what i'm saying

i'm not even in your shitty generation whiney

and sold out of every copy, which proves that someone gives a shit

Generation Moron giveasshit, I guess.

we're reaching chris ott levels of awesome here

whiney sells out *clap* every copy

sorry i said anything yall. i'm ducking out of this argument. hopefully our generation will be able to handle an extra $7 or searching something twice, and if not, this company definitely deserves to sink into the sea and eaten by wolverines, peace out.

i can't believe people don't think they'd still be getting a lot of value for their dollar from Netflix even if they doubled their rates!

sometimes lost corporations are the only ones worth fighting for

whiney the next time you go to subway I hope there are 2 doors one leads to the sandwiches and the other plays the beatles

remy, u went 2 otter school?

I can't believe I've been a subscriber to netflix for 11 years. I've never subscribed to anything for that long.

otter school. Sign up me.

can i say for the third or fourth time i didn't and don't care about the price hikes -- the deal for netflix was too good to last and it's still a good value -- complaining about making a service and user interface that worked very well into two services that you have to tend to separately, have two separate queues and two separate bills is annoying from a customer pespective, that's why people are complaining and it's perfectly rational and justified.

i mean in any online service there are very specific user interface, convenience, and operational reasons why some services succeed and some don't -- for example, you can basically do anything on, say, playstation network or wii online that you can do with xbox live, but microsoft made its service better, more useable, and with a better feature set, that's why it's dominated this generation of online in the console space.

netflix up to this point was a massive success specifically because people liked the service, like the way it operated, like the interface and useability. now, this is changing in a way that is 100 percent worse for the consumer who pays money to netflix each month -- and unfortunately timed with some price increases.

if they or anyone else expected that people weren't going to complain, you are crazy.

I mean, i def agree that "that's a p dumb move" is a valid criticism. it's a pretty dumb move.

Unfortunately, the internet has sort of conflated it with a lot of "WELP IM CANCELING MY NETFLIX" and "THEY ARE DONE! THIS MOVE MEANS THEY ARE FUCKING DONE!" all of which is a pretty shrill reaction to something that's not really that much of an inconvenience

i can't believe people don't think they'd still be getting a lot of value for their dollar from Netflix even if they doubled their rates!

that's fine! and if enough people agree with you, netflix will be fine too.

but that's a totally different argument from "you shouldn't complain about netflix or change your service because DVDs and video streaming are a first-world luxury"

users are going to complain when an interface changes even for the better, let alone when usability is made objectively worse.

guys theyre doing it because they want people to stop subscribing to the dvd delivery
