Join the movement: Post a protest note on Netflix

[Knaldskalle]

This is the place to list your profile if you've chosen to join our protest against the recent changes on the Netflix website (read a lot more here). If you've replaced your review text with a protest note like the one below (feel free to copy this, but it doesn't have to be identical), post a link to your Netflix profile or your reviews so we can keep track of our progress and hand out some assistance:

Here are some samples you can use wholly or in part (feel free to correct the date, for instance):

"Dear reader, Until March 12th 2010 this was an actual real review. Because the new design that NetfIix has implemented for movie detail pages removed information about what our friends rated movies, as well as top 10 lists and the ability to send movie notes, I've decided to move my reviews elsewhere. I see no reason to supply NetfIix with free content when NetfIix does not support its users. To see my reviews click on my profile picture to the left and follow the link there to the NetfIix Community. If NetfIix decides to reverse its stance on this issue, I'll happily bring my reviews back, but until then, this note will take its place. I apologize for the inconvenience, dear reader, and hope you'll forgive this non-review."

"This was a movie review until NetfIix decided to remove friend features. Since NetfIix seems to place no value on its most active members, I'm no longer going to be an active member. The new design that they have implemented for movie detail pages removed friends' ratings, top 10 lists and the ability to send movie notes. If NetfIix decides to reverse its stance on this issue, I'll start writing reviews again. Until then, I am no longer going to give them free content and I've decided to move my reviews elsewhere. If you are reading this, please call NetfIix andhttp://www.netflix.com/StrangerReviews?prid=608651759&lnkctr=fs... ask them to give us our community features back. I apologize for this non-review."

"Under normal circumstances I might have reviewed this DVD, but when NF implemented the new DVD page detail design they removed friends' ratings, top 10 lists and the ability to send movie notes. That made it harder for me and others to find movies we'll like. If you are reading this, please call NetfIix and ask them to give us the community features back. I apologize for this non-review."

My profile is here. I've not replaced all the reviews with protest notes, but I'll get it done over the weekend.

I support this effort.

Has anyone looked into a class action complaint for false advertising or something? I hate that I pay money and then functionality I used to pay for is continuously stripped away.

The next step for those of you with time to make photoshops, change all your reviews etc. is to get a protest domain keepn_t_f_friends.com or whatever.
Then, emai/twitter all the tech journalists and get them to pick up this story. Some of them will be n__x lackeys etc, but some will run with it.

Good luck. I will be canceling in a few days and I am no longer "invested" in the service. Hope you guys win though.

Knalds, delete this duplicate picture if you want but it's a great visual for people who read this and don't understand the impact of the removal of these features. Being at the front of the thread as well as in the body of it seems helpful. I hope the pix is being posted at Facebook by everyone who uses it. Wish we could post pictures on NF. Anyway remove it if you don't want it here.

[Knaldskalle]

I'm not perfectly fine with having it here, I think it's a very good idea, Aces. I thought about adding it to the OP, but I think that's long enough as it is. Having it here will hopefully make it clear to everyone what was cut.

[Aces]

You could do a Click Here to see the old page with one of the html links in the OP. Then delete this if you want.

I think we should leave this visual here at the front. Not everybody who reads our comments on-site at NF "gets" that the same functions are not available at the "friends" link @ Netflix.

Hell, not everybody who reads this thread "gets" that.

Maybe it is from never having seen someone's ratings for a title without having to claw through ALL of their ratings to find it, or from not knowing that you could see more than one person's ratings for a title at one time, or maybe they never used a top ten list that wasn't force fed to them on the "more lists" page.

And they've obviously never wanted to see friends' ratings or send a movie note about a title that they haven't already rented, rated, or queued.

My above post should of course read "I'm not only perfectly fine...".

We have started a group called the "2%'ers" on facebook. You can join us at the following link:

I think a lot of the people on here are Facebook-adverse but just in case people want to join the group here's the link:

Just for the sake of discussion, is that adverse? or is it averse?

[Pihk]

Just for the sake of discussion, is this annoying or highly annoying?
