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?

I was wondering the same thing. That was a bad move for Netflix to have separate charges for streaming and DVD ordering. As soon as I heard I'd be paying $15/month, I went online and canceled my DVD orders by family vote. Streaming won.

In my experience, two different shows can be viewed at once. I've been watching something on the computer and my dad was in the next room watching something else on Netflix. But once I was in a different room and we tried to watch the same TV show and it wouldn't let us.

It's the jack-up of 60 percent all at once. If they wanted to raise their prices, they could've done it over a period of time, a couple of dollars at a time, and it would've been justified. But the streaming thing - if true - would be bollocks. Someone else provided a link to an article explaining it's not true (posted elsewhere in this comment thread).
