Also, it would be a pain to find out a movie isn't available for streaming and then having to login to another account to put the movie in its cue. And I don't want to browse DVDs and put one in my queue when it's available for streaming.
It's rare that companies this size make such stupid moves; this is one of those times.
The bigger issue is splitting my ratings and thus my suggestions. I already ignore other places to rate movies since only netflix provided a tangible benefit to me. Split it, and it won't.
The reason for the split has to be business-related, and my best bet is to create a very clean separation of intellectual property. This among other things is why I find the post disingenuous.
Hastings is the very definition of stupid: hurting himself, his company, and his customers -- all at the same time, and totally oblivious to it all.
His method to "fix" his previous mistake is to make an even bigger one. Unbelievable.
