I always thought people gave netflix a pass when they increased price because the film/TV industry was basically holding them hostage when they realized how popular netflix was getting. Netflix's contracts were about to expire and when they went to renew the movie/TV guys increased what they were charging to show content so netflix basically passed along the bill. What was nice is that they split up the digital/DVD content in order to keep the price pretty much unchanged for most (most people only did one or the other anyway (I think)).
So basically Netflix's hands were tied and they did the best they could for the customers. Is that right? Or am I misinformed?
- sharkweek 13y agoIn my experience and with a somewhat smaller sample size, a lot of people blame Netflix anytime a show gets removed or the service changes at all. Example: here's an announcement we published that King of the Hill was being removed (be mindful of affiliate links if you're sensitive to that stuff): http://thebestofnetflix.com/bad-news-king-of-the-hill-to-be-removed-from-instant-stream-october-1st/ http://thebestofnetflix.com/bad-news-king-of-the-hill-to-be-... Check out the comments, people get rather upset about it and seem to direct their anger at Netflix
