A Foolish infographic showing the origins of Netflix's crash.

The past couple of months haven't been kind to Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX). Not only are consumers outraged over rate hikes and a plan to split the service, but competition is heating up. Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) is aggressively pitching its own streaming service, and cash-rich Internet giants Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) are reportedly among the companies most interested in buying key competitor Hulu.

To keep track of all the threats facing Netflix -- and the companies that might stand to gain if it falters -- we've created this handy infographic tracking the stock's slide over the past two months.
