Rabble!

Ok, so I've been putting this off for a while. But over the past month I've been spending money. And downloading a lot. Since I rebuild my computer nearly 10 months ago I've ALMOST filled my hard drives.

Although, to be fair, some of it is pure laziness. I've got DVD iso's from Green Cine waiting for conversion into MPEG-4. What? Not Netflix?

TRUTH 1: Netflix THROTTLES.
EXPLANATION: If you're a heavy renter, your rentals will yeild to less frequent renters. If someone who rents less than you do wants the same thing at the top of your list as theirs, they will get it. This way they can "hopefully" not send you anything and not let you rape them so badly. This harkens back to "100% UNLIMITED INTERNET! (500MB download limit per month)" tom foolery of years past.

TRUTH 2: Netflix's Anime selection is POOR.
EXPLANATION: Sure, they'll have a billion copies of Naruto I'm sure, but I'm not gonna find the Urusei Yatsura TV episodes there. Something even LESS in demand? How about Marmalade Boy? FAH!

TRUTH 3: Netflix is SUING Blockbuster for stealing their business design.
EXPLANATION: What if McDonalds sued Burger King? Ford sued GM? FedEx sued UPS? USPS sued both FedEx and UPS? How can you "steal" a business design? Rental is not a Netflix invention. Any reasonable person would recognize that competition is good. Sometimes patents are given that SHOULDN'T BE.

So I choose not to use Netflix. You shouldn't use them either. (THIS STATEMENT IS AN OFFICIAL MANX SEAL OF DISAPPROVAL.)

...

Hmm... I need to get me a seal of disapproval.
