Why has Netflix gotten greedy?


I've greatly enjoyed renting DVD's from Netflix.com on occasion. But I don't have time to watch 4 movies a month (I like to get family and friends together to watch, and NONE OF US can spare that much time every month). I watch broadcast TV, and I go to movies in the theater. AND I LISTEN TO A HELLUVA LOT OF MUSIC on my stereo. The $16 per month "Marquee Program" is just a gimmick to get all of us who've enjoyed renting periodically to pay a flat rate every month, like cable or DSS. They're now closing their business to those of us who would rent 4 or 5 movies at times when we had the time to watch, and then go 2 or 3 months without renting any. THIS IS CONSPICUOUS SCREWING OF THE CONSUMER, and I say: IS THERE ANOTHER GOOD PLACE ONLINE TO RENT DVD'S?? There definitely should be...

Have used Netflix many times before. Lots of titles and easy to use. But, got too many late fees even though dvd's were mailed back out the day after I received them. Was good site but now wants the "guaranteed" money of the Marquee program. They emailed me when they were going to start the program and I told them, hey, I already got 50 dvd's at home; why would I use the Marquee program? To whomever else replies to this query, please let us know how many dvd's you have at home. I bet the average is about 50. I got about 100 now. Been trying not buying them but I can't!
