Hi,

I generally use Netflix on the Apple TV so as to take advantage of voice
Over. However, I have noticed that accessibility has deteriorated in both
the iPhone app as well as on the PC web browser side of things. About two
months ago a new series was supposed to show up on Netflix or should I say a
series new to Netflix and it did not show up on the Apple TV. Because the
web site is so convoluted it took me about an hour to get through all those
taste profiles or whatever all that new distraction type crap is called and
just get in to find out if it was indeed added like it was supposed to be.
Then once I found that it was indeed there it took me another half an hour
to find the correct link in order to add it to my list because it is not as
simple as it used to be where you just added shows or movies to a list of
shows and you could move their order up and down by simply changing the
number in an edit box. And all the while it kept nagging me to rate movies I
had no interest in watching. And all this was for a series someone else in
the household wanted to check out not even me, smile!

So yes I think Netflix has lost some accessibility ground. Part of it though
I think is just poor site programming.
