Submission + - Netflix Killing Profiles Feature (netflix.com)
Retief writes: Today I received an email from Netflix stating:
This is beyond disappointing; I've been using this feature for years. And I spent a couple years wishing for it before that.
Is this about improving the website, or improving the bottom line, by forcing people in the same household to open separate accounts to keep separate queues?
We wanted to let you know we will be eliminating Profiles, the feature that allowed you to set up separate DVD Queues under one account, effective September 1, 2008.
Each additional Profile Queue will be unavailable after September 1, 2008. Before then, we recommend you consolidate any of your Profile Queues to your main account Queue or print them out.
While it may be disappointing to see Profiles go away, this change will help us continue to improve the Netflix website for all our customers.
