saitaina | Thanks netflix, for fucking me over

Wanna see how fast I drop a service I've used since it's inception? On Sept 01, I will probably delete my Netflix account while flipping them off.

Netflix also announced it is separating its unlimited streaming and unlimited DVD plans in the U.S. to better reflect the costs of each and to give members a choice: a streaming-only plan, a DVD-only plan or the option to subscribe to both.

With this change, Netflix will no longer be offering unlimited plans that include both streaming and DVDs by mail. The unlimited streaming plan will remain at $7.99 a month. The price for getting both unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs will be $15.98 a month ($7.99 + $7.99).

First of all, I haven't paid 7.99 for my account since I got it (unlimited + 1 DVD a month). I've paid 9.99.

Secondly, a service I've enjoyed for ages is now costing me almost double for something that's barely worth writing home about anyway (streaming videos can't compete with my other media sources, except when I'm sick in bed).

So thanks, netflix, I've used your company since it opened, but now I'll be happily moving far away from you.
