Qwikster?
Nobody seemed to notice that Qwikster appears to be alive and well -- but with a much better name. DVD.com is humming along smoothly with DVDs in the mail, and a wider selection than any other streaming service because of the First Sale Doctrine. 

It's amazing that DVDs for movies are still made.. since streaming seems to be where the continuing revenues are. Copyright holders have to rely on scratched discs for another DVD sale, but renewing streaming rights (with bids on exclusive licenses) happen as frequently as lawyers can negotiate the terms.

Re: The King Doesn't Want to Become the President
@faryl - I may not know specifically how it all works, but I am positive that even if the production company initially fits the bill of the production costs, they get a profit back from Netflix once it's aired. (Because no one in this country does anything for nothing.) I'm not sure how they determine what to pay for, since I'm sure they run the demographic gammit where their audience is concerned. Maybe it's similar to fast food, the more popular shows bring in the large audiences and make up for the cost of the shows that don't bring in as large an audience. So they can make a show like DinoTrux, because of the profit they bring in from Orange is the New Black. (In a franchise, the busier restaurants make up for the loss in profits from the struggling restaurants. In case you weren't aware.)

Re: Netflix Need a New Model
YOu make good points!

I personally like Netflix, although nothing last forever and it wouldn't kill them to try something new. Especially with the new services coming out that grant things as Netflix does.

Netflix Need a New Model
Nothing lasts forever. I think it is something that Netflix needs to monitor and they need to being implementing a plan for capacity management and future growth.

Althogh the market is satured Netflix is a leader and many of their customers are loyal despite prices changes and feature changes just like Comcast. Customers may complain about their service but remain as customers.

I agree! I understand that they want to gain more subscribers and reach more people, but they're doing great!
