NO, NO, NO! My response on reading the article title. Why the hell does everything have to be socially linked now a days? If I really want my friends to watch something I recently discovered on Netflix or whatever, I'll tell them about it. Not spam their facebook wall.

Focus more on getting more recent titles on instant stream and less on how I can spam your website to my friends, who already all are using it heavily anyway.



I agree, except for the "focus" bit. The engineers that worked on this alleged feature would not have been much help signing new content distribution deals.

(Well. I'm generalizing. I'm an engineer, and I know I wouldn't be.)


Right, the focus bit was more or less aimed at Netflix.. management I suppose? So something like "stop deciding we need social features implemented and perhaps use said time and effort towards getting more distribution deals signed"

I was legitimately upset when I wrote that comment and not thinking the clearest hah
