Why I don’t subscribe to Netflix

July 26, 2006 at 07:07 AM | categories: Startups | View Comments

Do you use Netflix?  Did you ever use Netflix?  I did and ended up cancelling after a few months.  The problem was, I didn’t want to dedicate 2 hours of my time to watching a movie.  200 hours/month or more of time surfing the net was OK but hey, that’s another story.  Having access to a huge supply of movies didn’t change that.  There just weren’t that many movies that I really wanted to watch. 

Nicholas Carr references an article in The Wall Street Journal talking about this.  Yeah, I got the movies I wanted to see but then they started sending me the movies I thought I was supposed to see.  And wow, I didn’t really want to watch a lot of them.

Eventually I got tired of having 3 movies I didn’t want to see around the house and cancelled.  Glad to hear I’m not alone.
