« Looks like the Dems can avoid a filibuster when they want to | Main | DC Buggering Up More Stuff » Netflix is DumbA followup to our previous post on Netflix deciding to separate its streaming video business from its dvd mail service: Netflix realized belatedly that this was a bad idea and said "just kidding". Netflix Inc. is abandoning its widely panned decision to separate its DVD-by-mail and Internet streaming services because it would make them more difficult to use. Really, CEO Reed Hastings? You needed subscribers to complain about having to manage 2 separate accounts for you to determine that it would make things more difficult? Really? Let me explain something to you. Logging into two accounts is going to take more effort than logging into one account. I'm sure a statistician out there has the hard data on this. In fact, I think it would be safe to assume that managing two things would generally be more work than managing one thing. It's a crazy concept, I know. Just go with it. Shmuck. Now fix the thing where i can't fast forward or rewind a streaming video without having to wait a minute for it to reload. By min | October 10, 2011, 9:36 AM | Movies & TeeVee |
