I did trust the company. That's gone now. All that time we've spent rating stuff? Spun off to this POS Kwikster company, and no longer integrated.

It's rare that companies this size make such stupid moves; this is one of those times.

But its not a new company. Its the same organization headed by the same person with the same employees as before. There is just some different branding.

The new branding includes a CEO and it's being billed separately. Not to mention being completely separated online (no shared ratings or searching). It's a different company.
