Cancelled Netflix — Blog Post — Idiotic marketing with Qwikster — No closed-caption via TiVo.

[Bob]

In a nutshell — Netflix has devolved to become marketing idiots.  There is a law that says: "An idiot can make a much dumber statement than an imbecile — because an imbecile is limited by imbecility.  The "apology" is an oxymoron — not with pure intent — too long — too complicated — too meaningless.  "Qwikster" is idiotic — too many bad subliminal meanings — being screwed by a trickster — fraudster — hustler  really incompetent marketing.  The loss in Netflix's market capitalization — sends a strong message — reverse course — unless arrogance precludes a true, unadulterated apology.

It's also stupid that Netflix does NOT close-caption streaming video with TiVo — for the hearing impaired.  Netflix may end up with a class action lawsuit for violating the Americans With Disabilities Act. TiVo is the leader in video recording — with a footprint everywhere — including Netflix — but Netflix does NOT embrace it — another half-hearted approach to customer satisfaction.  Netflix should emulate leadership — not incompetence!

Where does your post fit in that scheme?

[Bob]

The so-called "apology" was simply dumb — idiotic — from a marketing perspective.
