Dear author of the blog post: you are wrong. Watching is a deeply personal experience and sharing it is the last thing I think about when I go to Netflix. And most people on Facebook/whatever social network are not really your friends. And there is no shortage of ways to communicate with _real_ friends should I want to discuss a movie with them. So let Netflix focus on their core functionality instead of this social nonsense.

I'm not sure you read past the first paragraph ... the author is on your side; Netflix isn't.
I admit it was a bit difficult to focus after first paragraph which I interpreted as the premise of the whole post and which I consider to be wrong. I read again. No, author is not really on my side: he just says Netflix needs to take a different approach. I say they need "no approach": focus on making content available, more of it and in more ways, on more devices and platforms. At least that's what I pay them for, not for sharing options.
