I mostly use Netflix + Amazon, where I rent movies or buy recent TV episodes from Amazon for a small fee and use Netflix for general exploration and children's programming. If Netflix could offer me the rentals and TV episodes for an additional fee, I'd happily use it... I generally prefer their experience over Amazon's, and Netflix is rock solid for me vs. Amazon's occasional failures at prime time (YMMV, of course). But they've really bought into this "one fee for everything" model, and, well, I guess that made sense three or four years ago, but I fear it may be the hill they die on. Instead they seem to prefer some sort of ideological purity and for more of my money to go to Amazon every month, even though I actually spend more clock time with Netflix.
