    Why didn’t they just split into NetFlix and MailFlix?

    mar-see-ah:

    Keeps the branding consistent, isn’t dumb, and everyone would understand the distinction.

    Pretty sure they want to kill the DVD business. Turns out storing things in warehouses and putting them into envelopes is expensive. They just need the business to survive long enough to support the transition to a streaming only company.

    That said, I love the name MailFlix.

      So smart. Far smarter than anything Netflix/Qwikster/Company Doe has done.
