The Downside of Some Blogs

I follow a huge amount of blogs, HUGE. The way I’ve found most of these blogs is through social media, either someone tweeted about it, someone posted on Facebook or they wrote a blog post. I follow some really great bloggers but there is a dark side. A lot of blogs speak to your insecurities, they question your fears and bring them out. Then they tell you they can fix you. The worst ones are the ones that say they have the absolute end all cure to anything that ails you, BUT, you must pay for it.

Heads up, a blogger isn’t going to fix it. A blogger who charges you money to fix you is actually fixing themselves up, with easy money. This is the internet folks, this is not real life. If you need help, go out and get it, leave your home, search it out, talk to a person..a real person, a friend, clergy, family but don’t turn to the almighty blogger who can cure you, in this case you won’t get what you paid for.

The Downside of Some Blogs

Netflix How Could You

Netflix‘s Tuesday announcement of a rate hike on it’s services has caused a customer backlash. Many customers have left around sixty thousand comments on the blog and also on Facebook. @Netflix Twitter has also seen a flood of tweets in response to the price changes.”~Technorati

Oh Netflix what were you thinking, Netflix several months ago went on a marketing blitz promoting a month free of Netflix and then a really great price for streaming video (yay the kids could use the Wii and watch elsewhere in the house) and dvd’s by mail. They hooked me, I cancelled HBO and Starz and starting watching hit movies on my computer. I was happy and saving money, then the first price hike came soon after, it was still cheaper so I thought nothing of it. And now just this week they are hiking the price significantly again. It’s cheaper than HBO but then again HBO doesn’t raise their prices every 3 months so perhaps I may go back.

This is what happens when a good thing changes to greed. Teeheehee we sucked them in now lets wring out all we can from our customers. I see this more and more, Hulu used to be all free, then they started charging for Hulu Premium. I hope that Netflix reads all the posts all over social media sites about their price hike, if they don’t I predict they will be regretting their decisions, there is always somebody out there ready to take up the dropouts and make it better.
