Qwikster Is Dead Already – Netflix Reverses Itself

It’s like a soap opera…Netflix has now announced that Qwikster (which was stupid from the start) is DOA. It’s all staying as Netflix. And to think that kid with the Twitter handle could have made a few bucks for himself…

It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more difficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs.

This means no change: one website, one account, one password… in other words, no Qwikster.

While the July price change was necessary, we are now done with price changes.

We’re constantly improving our streaming selection. We’ve recently added hundreds of movies from Paramount, Sony, Universal, Fox, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, MGM and Miramax. Plus, in the last couple of weeks alone, we’ve added over 3,500 TV episodes from ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, USA, E!, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, ABC Family, Discovery Channel, TLC, SyFy, A&E, History, and PBS.

We value our members, and we are committed to making Netflix the best place to get movies & TV shows.

Thank you.

I think Netflix is trying to self destruct…this was the right move but of course that’s before it follows up a really really dumb move.
