Ctrl-Z: Netflix Profiles are Back! Or, that is, won’t leave.

Like every other Netflix subscriber, I recently was told that Netflix Profiles would be going away, and that we would lose all of out ratings and queues stored in our non-primary profiles.

Today they did a Ctrl-Z (Command-Z for those Mac fans out there) after all of the outrage this caused: Netflix Profiles are here to say! Which is good, since a lot of us don’t want to get recommendations based on our spouse’s or children’s watching habits. (Unless you one of those with eclectic tastes, and really feel like giving both Sleeping Beauty and The Re-animator 5 stars.)

Personally, my wife and I use out Netflix profiles to separate my and her current queues (naturally), but we also keep another profile that is just TV shows that we are currently in the middle of that we are both interested in, so that we don’t have duplicates, or worry about hogging queue time on one of our queue’s for something that is for both of us.
