8 Netflix changes we'll probably see next
“Even after Netflix backpedaled on their confusing decision to separate their streaming and delivery services, the damage had already been done. They decided not to launch Qwikster after all, but trust in the company had been damaged after much back-and-forth and public backlash. Somehow, we don’t expect it to end there. If the last few months are any indication, Netflix has a few more missteps left in them. Here are our predictions for Netflix’s next few changes, and what will happen as a result.” Read more…

55 percent ditching Netflix over price hikes, poll finds
Yup, Netflix customers are mad! But will they really carry through and quit? We’ll see… (For my part, I didn’t cancel but I did reduce my plan to the one disc option.)
Observations about the survey: it did not give you a way to respond that you are not changing your plan. Also, people who are happy with Netflix are less likely to complete the survey than those who want to express their anger. Finally, some of the respondents are likely just venting or trying to send a message and will not follow through by quitting. So I think that the 55% people canceling their Netflix service is highly inflated, though I wish it is true: the market should send a strong signal to any company that screws them over. —drgeo
