So what does everyone think?

I'm now seriously rethinking keeping our account because that was one of the main reasons we signed up in the first place.

The loss of inventory is really a bad situation for Netflix. Over the last year, I have watched the selections dwindle. The quality of what's available seems to be bad 80's movies and a few decent TV series.

The price hikes, the stupid splitting of their services and the poor quality of streaming is going to be the end of Netflix, methinks. Studios have made it abundantly clear that they don't need Netflix nearly as badly as Netflix needs them, and unless Netflix can score some major deals with studios to improve their streaming selection (doubtful), they will go belly-up as users migrate to other platforms with better selections like Amazon Prime and Roku.
