- r00fus 15y agoYeah, but it could affect stock price today. Stock valuation is inherently forward-looking.
- garethsprice 15y agoNot so sure about that, they just split the offerings which is already causing a lot of users to evaluate their subscriptions, hearing about the ending of the Starz contract will affect that decision. I love the concept and want to support the company, but I feel like the value of their offering just dropped drastically (I lost the DVDs by mail, so down to half the content, then losing Starz means that I'm essentially getting 1/4 of the content - if that - for the same price). Previously we just let the subscription get charged, even if we had a busy month and didn't watch anything, but I feel like if I'm going to have to go to that "Change Account" screen then "Cancel" is going to be the most appealing option. Netflix needs to do a better job of engaging it's customers and explaining the reasons behind the price hikes, and offering an incentive to stay - even if it's "hey, the studios are screwing us, please stick by us and be part of ending that messed-up system".
