Woohoo a chance for the market to prove themselves useful.   E.g everyone that’s really mad about Netflix’s   mealy-mouthed  handling  of the profiles can get a chance to cancel and STAY  canceled for a reasonable time. Mostly they won’t but  hey that’s their loss. 

What is it? 

Netflix is a online DVD rental  co that lets you have  X many  DVD’s out at a time depending on what you pay. They also have a streaming service that lets you watch X many hours a month of online video tied to the same subscription.  E.g  On the whole a really good service for those with non mainstream tastes or that live miles away  from a real rental location. 

One of their neat features is that I can  have a  queue of movies, and so can my wife since we have different tastes.  I like to think, she doesn’t , at least were movies are concerned.  

This is a feature  that Netflix  plan to take away.

“"While it may be disappointing to see Profiles go away, this change will help us continue to improve the Netflix website for all our customers.”

100%  total self serving crap.  This change does not help me, does not help those that have reviews  created under separate profiles and even worse seems remove a mass of useful information  that’s been created by the users.  That’s the part that’s most worrying  the more of this that occurs the less likely people will invest the time creating them. 

It’s a massive problem for social networks in general but there’s a huge difference from a company that  you provided material to folding versus a wilful act to trash  a lot of work especially when you’ve been paying them all along for a service.

They enact this on  Sept 1st , least they claim they will, remind me to cancel then . K?  Tnx bai.  

WOW even they thought it was a good idea, still touting it on their site
