Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdown::Netflix subscriptions are up almost 6 million this quarter, suggesting we’re all just too exhausted to fight this stuff

I mean, it only affected our smart TV. Everything else, including the laptop, my phone, and my tablet, can still use my parent’s Netflix account just fine.
So yeah, I guess I just literally rolled over to another device and used that instead.
Same here, a friend of mine i am sharing with can still use netflix on his PC where he uses it anyway. If they would shut that option off i just quit using their service all year long. I will then start just to subscribe for a month two times a year, watch some shows i want to see and quit it again. And Amazon Prime Video become much better lately content wise.
I get upset about a lot of things, but the end of password sharing isn’t one of them. Complaining about it is just about the most privileged, entitled thing I can imagine.
Yeah, while I have no problem with people who just ran extra lines to their neighbours so they could get free cable, there’s an unsaid but obvious “of course the cable company understandably doesn’t approve and will shut that down if they can find out it’s happening and might even go after the others for back subscriptions”.
Corporate overreach sucks but this is not an example of that. My position on this is being surprised they allowed it for so long and confused as to how people justify their outrage about it.
Because you have to buy the 4x plan in order to enjoy features like UHD. As it is digital there is absolutely no reason, why they couldn’t bundle it so there is a standard and premium plan available both for family access or just for single access.
This is like McDonalds only serving you drinks if you buy at least two meals, but forbidding you to give away the second meal.
