Netflix Abruptly Pulls Streaming Movies From Users' Lists

Tweet

Netflix has been ridiculed as of late not just for raising prices but for making changes without notice. In fact, CEO Reed Hastings just recently sent out an email apologizing for the way the new charging structure came down. Interestingly it seems this way of doing things hasn’t quite stopped. This time users began seeing queued Watch Instantly titles disappearing just because they weren’t available yet. This was done without any notice.

Users used to be able to save titles in their instant queue even if they weren’t yet available for instant streaming quite yet. All of a sudden users began to see these titles disappear. After the fact Netflix posted on their blog a reason for this action. They seem to think that these titles being listed just served to cause confusion. Apparently when those titles do become available they will come back into view.

Users who are close to having 500 titles in their queue (the maximum limit allowed) still have the hidden titles taking up spots. Netflix promises to fix this within a few days.
