I guess if by Horrible you mean almost 30 million users, then I agree.....
When was the last time you created a product used by 30 million people?
Makes sense. Apparently Netflix is looking to start cracking down on shared accounts, so for those who do, I expect the ride to end soon.

I get both the Netflix DvD and Netflix streaming options and I find I spend more time watching the DvDs. I wouldn't pay anymore for streaming than I already do.
I couldn't agree more. The only bright side is that it's worlds better than the Amazon Prime UI. Not even a queue to put future viewing content into. Just browse and browse and browse.
Yeah, a dying product. That's why they recently launched a very successful original show (House of Cards) and are bringing back Arrested Developmemt.
?
I've streamed Netflix on 3 devices at once, So i don't get it. PS3, Roku, iPhone. Does the iPhone not count?

Others have indicated that Netflix will be enforcing the 2 device at once limit (i.e. you will not be able to stream to 3 devices at once unless you get their new $12.00 plan)..
I would pay more for a bit more content. I think I've exhausted everything I want to watch that is available streaming (although I'll never tire of Cosmos
).
I have been using Netflix US for months now on my Canadian account with ATV. Computers and ios devices are on Canadian and are used at the same time as ATV. My service has not been terminated.
I think I am going to knock some wood...
Amen. There's some great content on Amazon Prime. It's just a nightmare to find it. Especially via the console and smart tv apps. I started doing all my browsing on the computer and filling up my queue for later watching.
If someone really thinks it's lacking, they would go elsewhere for their content. If someone is watching it by "sharing" an account, that just seems like an excuse for being cheap.
Are you streaming more than two shows at once?
Wait is the $12/month only for the 4 simultaneous streams or does that also include the split profile? I'd love for normal streaming to have the split profile. Currently my Netflix recommendations are hijacked by the shows my 5 year old daughter watches.
Worth it for profiles alone
$12 is still pretty cheap and to get the disney crap out of my recently watched and recommendations will be worth it right there. Netflix is a great source of content even if not complete. I'm happy to pay another $4 a month to get streams for my 2 daughters and I when they are at their mother's house and be legit.

They have a Watchlist. I agree it isn't as good as Netflix overall. And Netflix isn't as good as I'd like, either.
It keeps stopping me at 2. I've been under the impression they are enforcing the 2 stream rule, and for many months, now.
While some may balk regardless of the price, to me it's all about value. I admit to being a light viewer (I watch about or less than 10 hours of TV a month) and I am very selective about what I watch. So I cannot justify spending $8/month for Netflix's streaming library. But lower price and/or better selection could change my mind.
They're offering me more options at a cheap price? Screw them! I'm going back to pirating!
It's not totally clear, but it sounds like the split profile is for all accounts.
It's based on location. Netflix only allows one stream per device and two streams per IP. If you're sharing with friends, they will be logging in from a different IP than you.
