The fact that they had this api made me choose to be their consumer in the first place. And i was already looking for a reason to ditch them since the price changes and recent focusing 100% on series instead of any film.
This is exactly how it is supposed to work. Now, freshly empowered, will choose another streaming service. That service presumably distinguishes itself by offering such APIs. So the number of people who switch helps train the market.
Perhaps there is a startup opportunity for an API driven unbranded movie streaming service where the product is the viewing API/data rather than the streaming.

Maybe that's exactly what Netflix intends to offer -- a separate product that's just API/data. Developer account?
