He probably already has been fired.

B E C K · « **Reply #61 on:** Oct 11, 2011, 03:29:37 PM »

Probably isn't good enough.

Fired isn't good enough, unless you mean fire-roasted. Mmmm, CEO, yummy.

Only if he's coated with a sweet 'n salty crunchy shell.

Aren't they expecting to lose 1 million customers by the end the of the year? I think they're trying to kill the DVD service and just become a video game service.

They almost did.

Saw this on the front page of the business section of nearly all the major newspapers I work for (NY Times, WallSt Journal, USA Today) but every single one of them noted that Netflix lost almost 1 million customers (I think it was between 800k and 900k) and their stocks dropped around 30%, maybe even 70%.

I wonder if the CEO is listening now.

I just read an article today (I don't remember where, maybe at TIME mag's website, so I has no link) saying that Netflix is living on "borrowed time". With all of the deals they've made and want to make to get new content, they need a steady stream of new subscribers. Apparently, in a little over three months they decreased 2/3 of their own market value. Goddamn, son.

This is proof that CEOs don't deserve 450 times the wage of the average worker. They might be smart but clearly they're not 450 times smarter.

I really hope Netflix doesn't go away. I hate Hulu Plus and Blockbuster is run by a couple of cock suckers.

If DVD by mail does and streaming is the only alternative, fuck it, I'll just get what little I watch nowadays off torrent from now on.

Hulu makes me happy. Day after on the web is a good thing.

I don't want it to go away either but on the upside, they still have some value. So if they go tits up, maybe someone else will buy them and take over.

blanktoe · « **Reply #71 on:** Oct 28, 2011, 05:10:29 AM »

Blockbuster.

B E C K · « **Reply #72 on:** Oct 28, 2011, 11:01:55 AM »

Ugh, no! Quiet, you!

Bah, Fuckin' Crap-buster...

Re: Netflix. Should I install that new interface thingy on my Wii? I don't trust this company anymore so I keep telling them NO. Did anyone do it? What do you think about it?

IDE · « **Reply #74 on:** Dec 27, 2011, 01:10:11 PM »

Whoever rezz'd blockbuster is a genius. They could've folded many times before now and instead they bided their time and waited for netflix to show a weak spot and BAMM! stuck their corporate spear into the heart of their enemy.

bided isn't a word?

bode their time?

B E C K · « **Reply #75 on:** Dec 27, 2011, 01:48:27 PM »

Bided is a word.

I tend to use Redbox almost exclusively these days for rentals.

That's because you don't have real internets.

BUMP. Frickin' Netflix finally forced me to update. The new interface is as clunky as I've heard.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #81 on:** Jun 27, 2012, 09:15:23 PM »

I haven't used it since April or so. Suspended account. I may unsuspend it to test my HTPC setup over the weekend, but probably not for longer than that.

B E C K · « **Reply #82 on:** Jun 27, 2012, 11:25:02 PM »

I'm still trying to figure out (1) what was wrong with the old one and (2) why the whole "Netflix for Kids" thing wasn't a separate download. I have to choose between regular and kids Netflix each time I load Netflix? Rly? =P Everybody who uses Netflix has kids who share their Wii? Frick.
