No mention of HP's Touchpad fire sale, sparked by a CEO who sabotaged his own company with purposely unrealistic sales goals in an grander scheme to rid HP of it's hardware business?

Rapmaster2000: Your customers love you and your stock is flying high. What do you do? If you're Netflix in 2011, you tick off subscribers with a 60% price hike and the launch of a new business called Qwikster.

Alternate headline: Your content providers raise their prices over 100%. What do you do? If you're Netflix in 2011, you don't raise your prices and plunge into the red.

As others have said Netflix was a PR failure pure and simple. If they had said something like "Due to content providers jacking up their prices 100%, we have to raise our subscription fees and we are splitting the mailing service from the streaming service," people would have grumbled, but the only people cancelling their subscriptions would have done it at the slightest price increase anyway.

Instead, they tried to pass off the price increase as price cut, which angered everyone. We all knew why they had to raise prices, but fark them for calling it a discount. They then fumbled the release of Quikster and made it clunky to use both services, further upsetting their already angry customers.

They should have unveiled the price increase and Quikster at the same time and they should have made it easy to add videos to either a Quikster cue, Netflix cue, or both.They royally farked up what would have been a minor business blip.
