I have all those red envelopes magnetted to my fridge

October 28, 2004

Netflix just emailed all their customers to announce that the monthly fee is going down from $21.99 per month to 17.99.

When does that ever happen, that recurring fees just randomly go down? (About as often as your mom goes down…. Yes, anyway…).

This makes me even more satisfied with Netflix as a company, which is strange, as I’ve had three Netflix movies for well over a month without watching any of them, making my per-movie cost extremely high. But: they keep track of my queue! They have indie films! They let me keep their movies indefinitely!

Consumer behavior is based on so many more variables than mere rational self-interest.

    Thank you for giving me the mental image of my mother performing fellatio. (*shudder*)

Got something to say?
