No more Netflix profiles? - Blu-ray Forum

bilbravo · 06-19-2008, 01:02 AM

I just got an e-mail earlier today from Netflix saying that they will no longer have separate queues for one account. Is this true or did I get tricked by some hoax e-mail? It looked pretty legit. If so, what is their reasoning?

I didn't see this thread anywhere, I looked in off topic, bd movies, etc... if it's a dupe, I apologize.

Alright I checked their website and it seems like it's really happening. Maybe I missed this discussion, but ... WHAT THE CRAP?

"Why? While it may be disappointing to see this feature go away, this change will help us to continue to improve the Netflix website for all our customers."

How does that improve ANYTHING?

I was wondering the same thing. This was a handy tool, as I had my girlfriend keep a queue so we could watch one movie she liked and one I liked each weekend. Oh well, she'll just have to suck it up, lol.

The more I think about this the more idiotic it gets. Seriously, my wife has a queue for her movies, I have one for mine. Now if we want to get different movies, we'll have to go to the trouble of making sure the movies are in some particular order.

You learn something new every day. I use Netflix and didn't even know you could have separate queues.

Odds are I'll be ending my netflix subscription on 9/1 of this year. My wife and I have separate queues and I have one for my parents who live in the same house with us as well. This way we all have the movies we want without any issue. No profiles means more work on my part to keep it all organized. No thank you Netflix.

I have a feeling this sentiment is shared by a lot of people. I wonder how many complaints they get, and if it will change their mind? They seem to be in tune with what their customers want... maybe they think they have a better idea than profiles?

+1 That sounds interesting and too bad I'm just NOW learning about this because it would of been beneficial with me and my wife as we don't meet eye to eye with movie tastes.
