article published on 17 April, 2019

Most of the world knows Netflix only as a gigantic streaming service, but only few people outside the U.S. know that the company was founded as a DVD rental service back in 1998.

Thank you for your article. I've been watching news about Netflix carefully lately, because I am so P.Oed about all of the back to back rate increases extorted from online streamers like myself. I understand Netflixes ambition to compete with Hollywood with exclusive content, but I can't get over forcing your most loyal and income producing customers to foot the bill for content that I have never and will never watch, and then having to pay increased rates for that content whether or not I watch, is simply unreasonable. I subscribe to Netflix for one reason...movies. Not Soaps or episode after episode of content that is simply dribble to me. Netflix should have only two choices. One, increase rates to support programming they like but simultaneously make more movies available for no extra price. Or Two-develop and introduce a tiered pricing scheme that forces the people who want and watch all the new episodic content to pay for it. NOT EVERYBODY! So far I am willing to pay for this extortion because I like the few movies made available under my subscription...but there is a limit, and Netflix is fast approaching it.

How else can one watch "Song of Russia" starring Robert Taylor and Susan Peters?
