You're missing the point entirely. The point is not whether or not they
lie (and if they do, why don't you start a class action suit?). The
point is whether or not it's a good value. And whether or not there is
a better value out there.
Virtually every company embellishes their product and their service, so
smart consumers ignore that bullshit and judge the company on what they
actually deliver.
That said, if you think it's poor value or there's better value out
there, by all means give Netflix the boot. I'm not a Netflix apologist.
I'm just trying to insert some logic into a mostly emotional discussion.
