Anyone else get the distinct feeling Netflix is trying to go out of business, and as fast as possible?

Outside the Bush administration, I haven't seen this kind of chain of stupid business decisions in a long time. My only question is WHY the execs are trying to wreck the ship. Bad investments to cover? Twenty-year-olds are running it? Time Beetles attached to their backs told them to turn right, not left?

You CAN do streaming-only, but damn my luck, there's a lot that isn't on streaming that I'd like to see. A lot of television shows, for example.

If I read it right, and I may not have, the "one per user" streaming limit is only for movies; I guess TV shows can still be viewed by two simultaneous users? You may want to Google it for yourself; I can't find the link immediately.

Ah, looks like it was a big mistake -

I'm with you about streaming only. We have to have both.

I haven't canceled my subscription; the $6 hike wasn't enough to do that. But interfering with the ability for more than one person to access the account would make me strongly think about it.
