Weird, embarrassing stuff.
Strange to see such a prominent company act this crazy. You expect it from some (it's par for the course), but Netflix isn't selling operating systems, software, game systems, serving some hugely entrenched customer/user base, etc. They're just renting movies. How hard could that possibly be, especially when you consider the fact they've done it pretty well for a long while now?
Sometimes, you don't really need to monkey with things and get cute with the one thing you're known for. It'll almost always blow up and bite you on the butt. If I was a Netflix customer, employee or shareholder, I wouldn't know which way is up at this point. And I surely wouldn't believe a damn word that comes out of that CEO's mouth.
