My Response to An Article posted on CNET: "HBO forces Netflix to go elsewhere for its DVDs"
This is totally getting annoying with each company trying to do the
"providing" and makes me wonder if at some point Apple won't come out
and say, "we won't accept albums from musicians anymore and will no
longer sell them on iTunes, and instead will provide all new music via
in-house recording artists."
I mean come on. Netflix had a decent
service. What they needed was content. Others have content. They don't
have a streaming service. None of us want to juggle 15 different
streaming movie accounts.
When I buy a car, it's understood it
comes with Tires and all the various pieces from different companies all
put into a nice package we call "A Car". Goodyear (or whoever) makes
the tires and so on.
If the streaming "content" business, which
was just maturing nicely up until a year ago, now devolves into a "go
here for that show, then here for that show, then here for that movie,
then over there for THAT movie, and each one needs my credit card and
each on has different requirements and interfaces and accounts I have to
deal with. SCREW IT... I'll go back to finding my stuff on Google...
which ultimately will probably win in the end.
