Edit: Shit. This is a spin-off site of the Onion isn't it? Ok this thread is now about how I'm an idiot.
 
Well this thread can be about how both I and Reed Hastings are idiots.
 
This guy is a clear example of a "dinosaur" in charge of a modern company. Streaming whatever shows you want is the tv business model of the future, not "copying HBO".
 
I don't think the AV Club is ever satire, but it's always sarcastic. Like the last line, which made me lol

“And to satisfy customers confused by the whole notion of ‘on-demand streaming,’ we feel it's our natural direction to revise our service to play movies and TV shows only according to a programming schedule,” Hastings added at a press conference approximately a year from now.

Anyway what a ****ing retard.
 
I'd kill for a service like Netflix here that allows me to stream the stuff I want to watch without having to bother with torrents or having to store the files on my PC. Literally, I'd kill for it. Give me a toddler and I'll strangle it. I would strangle it good.
