Dear Netflix:

I'm so disappointed that you will be eliminating Profiles, the feature that allowed me to set up separate DVD Queues under one account. It was one of my favorite features of Netflix. It allowed my young daughter to search Netflix and manage her own queue. Under her login, movie suggestions were all geared toward her and she was able to rate movies ( Read more... )

I was pretty pissed off when I got that email last night too.

My husband and I don't like the same DVDs so he has a profile on my account. That way I pay for my 6 dvd's at a time and he has a slot for one of them. This is a bummer for sure.

If they think it's going to double their business, they're wrong. There's no way I'm going to sign up for 2 separate accounts. That's a pain in the ass.

I absolutely will NOT sign up for two accounts. I hope they change their mind on this issue.

Seems like an odd practice for a company in serious competition to be restricting useability rather than expanding it.

Wow, that's ridiculous. They'd better change their minds, or I'm gonna snap at them when they send me another "we're always trying to improve our service" email asking when my DVD arrived.

And if it's any consolation, I have a PC, and I can't get the "watch instantly" nonsense to work. It worked once, but the next time I tried it told me to install the program again, and it kept screwing with me, and I gave up.

Yes I can't believe they are getting rid of this. It's a great feature. I had read as to why on their community blog ( ... )
