...which means about 76 Netflix titles are going bye-bye this month.
Most of this is pretty meh, but still, it kinda sucks.

I got the impression that "Epix" was a direct creation from Netflix. Now what? They're splitting up in the hopes they'll garner an extra subscription to their cable channels (Epix)?
As if we needed another "premium" cable offering in the first place. ::)

Epix has always been a separate entity from Netflix. Netflix has decided not to renew the licensing deal. Epix will now partner with Hulu.

It's a pretty big hit to the Netflix catalog, which honestly has seemed lackluster of late. There's also talk of rate increases coming from Netflix. May be time to give Amazon Prime another look.
The only thing I'm somewhat slightly bummed about is Coach going away...I had that in the back of my mind to re-watch at some point, but there's no way I'm binge-watching 8 seasons of that in the next two weeks.
At least The League isn't on this list. Season 6 just came out on Netflix yesterday, and three episodes in shows it's still disgustingly hilarious. >:D
I've never really liked Coach. Something about it just didn't work for me.
I need to watch more of The League. I've only seen a few episodes. It was pretty friggin funny.

It's so wrong, it's right. Especially when Rafi makes an appearance later on...trust me, you'll thank me later. Go binge-watch it when you can.

Amazon Prime's selection is mostly crap and has a very slow stream of new ones. I picked up Prime mainly for free 2-day shipping. Watched a few things on Prime Movies but not anywhere near as much as on Netflix in the past year.
I wasn't impressed with Amazon's video streaming service when I tried it a couple years ago. Netflix is much better and the entertainment my kids get out of it more than justifies the expense. If I were the only one using it, I'd probably drop it. I can watch pretty much whatever I want online without a subscription service.
Hulu is going to offer a commercial-free service for $12/mo

Umm....
I currently don't see commercials on Netflix or Amazon Prime. And they're both cheaper.
WTF?
If they are talking about Hulu Plus (they don't say) I think they tend to get recent episodes of shows sooner than Netflix. If I could pay $12 a month for those without commercials I might look into it. I guess I need to get more details.
For starters, this newest tier of Hulu's service still isn't completely ad-free

Games like that are enough to ensure that I will not subscribe. If I'm paying for the service, I don't want to see ads, ever.

Amazon is inferior to Netflix and Hulu, imho, and should be cheaper. I'm not sure how much cheaper Netflix really is than Hulu. The basic streaming package is $7.99, but that is SD and one screen at a time. Netflix's HD, 4 screen package is already $11.99. And you can probably expect price increases from Netflix in the near future.
Netflix is already experimenting with advertisements for its own shows
