Netflix--oh wait, I'm sorry, Qwikster

When Netflix changed the pricing structure, I wasn't annoyed. I understood that the business model is changing and they needed to separate the streaming part of their business.

Okay, well, now Netflix has managed to piss me off. You're going to make me go to two different websites to see if something is available on disc or instantly? Fuck you.

This worries me as well. The only reason to split and rebrand the businesses is if you plan to sell it. This would upset me a great deal, as there are a lot of things I want to watch not available streaming.

Megan McArdle suggested that it's b/c mail-order DVD is unprofitable, and they're planning to close it down.

After achieving such market dominance that they have no other competition. Great. That's great. It's not even like you could go to Blockbuster now.
