Make a Statement to Netflix - Cancel Your Subscription

[Superman07]

I don't understand the outrage either. As I said on another board I seriously doubt Netflix is doing this as a means to gain more profit - especially in harsh economic times. Rather, I think demand is forcing them to buy more, which in turn is driving their costs up. This goes back to the same reason why they institued the $1 price increase before. Why should the 90% that don't use Blu-ray be forced to subsidize the other 10%s media purchases? I do think the model could use some tweaking, but I think it's because there are probably a lot of those 10% that ONLY rent Blu-ray discs - hence the 1:$1.

I'll just rent at a physical store.

At $4 or $5 per disc? You seem to be a lot more concerned with muckraking than actually saving money.

I made my statement by not subscribing in the first place. I rent probably no more than a dozen movies a year, if that many.

Yeh if you don't need it, why pay for it

Okay, well, I don't need it either, but I hardly ever go to the movies, never actually rent new ones, and don't get cable TV so I justify it to myself in the end
