This is a topic many have pondered over the years, myself included. I have been a Netflix subscriber for some time now.  Originally drawn in by the convenience and free trial month, I stayed, like many, for the wide selection and no late fees.  Even after reading Michael Arrington’s “Why I am Breaking Up With Netflix” declaration back in late 2006, I was still an avid user, or so I thought.  

Now, there is a tool that you can use to judge for yourself whether or not you are making the most from you Netflix subscription.  Feedflix.com will analyze your rental history, tell you your average return rate, which DVDs by genre you keep out the longest, and let you know how much you are really paying per video.  

Because of some recent delinquencies, I have of late been paying $8.99 per video.  Crazy.  I have been traveling more than usual on weekends recently, but en so, no excuse.  Even more crazy, my first reaction was not to cancel my subscription, but to get my act together, clean up my queue, and do some serious movie renting.  I know this defies logic, but I guess that is what a good brand will make you do.  But, I plan on checking in with Feedflix next month to see if my performance has improved.  If not, I will cancel my subscription, once and for all.
