    Good god, I go on vacation for a few days, come back and the whole site has been rendered useless! Multi-threaded comments are uncool. Comments should be single thread, FIFO – period.

    John, Is Netflix running your site now?

    Oh, and now I see that after you post, only your post is visible. I used to be able to leave a thread open, hit refresh and see the new comments below mine. Talk about reducing usability!!!

    The confusing, ill conceived and just plain stupid changes that Netflix made are nothing compared to what has happened to this site in the last few days. Supposedly there are currently 33 comments. I can only see two. These recent changes give new meaning to the term “Ultimate Fail”.

    You get what you pay for:
    How many, of those who are complaining about the new layout, have contributed by clicking the “Support the blog” button at the right?

      So you mean to say that the site doesn’t need the traffic?

      Sterile argument of yours

      I have, but they basically just swapped out their WordPress layout and that
      isn’t major brain surgery. Are you suggesting the crapped up the site ’cause people aren’t making enough donations??

    Netflix is great but is not available for a lot of countries.

    I download proxy servers IP addresses and ports from this USA proxy list and I can use it.

    May be that can help others too.

    Oh I see NBC whisch teams up with Hulu Plus that charges you to watch their TV content and still endure advertising is making fun of Netflix.

    Yeah that is hypocrisy.

    I applaud Netflix in trying to wean baby boomers off the DVDs that are going the way of 45s and 78s.

    It is the same problem with the paper book crowd that still insist they don’t want e-books or audio books. I suppose there were still people that complained when papyrus took over for clay tablets.

      Of course – your insightful comments are predicated on there actually being content worth watching from the NetFlix streaming service – instead of the outdated and C-list movies they currently offer. Until their selection improves – there is no way it is going to replace the selection on DVD’s.

    So, do you lampoon people for making bad decisions like say, crapping out the commenting structure of a blog?

    Let the lampooning begin!

    I was never upset about the price increase of just a few dollars or even the split of the company, I just had no satisfaction with the content. Streaming wise, I constantly found myself disappointed because of the options I had to choose from, that’s ultimately why I left. Working for DISH Network I was curious about the Blockbuster Movie Pass, I wasn’t let down at all, great library of streaming, and nobody I know has ever accused Blockbuster of not having great movies to rent, they can even do it in the mail with their neew deal, check it out.
