This is what happens when you don’t push back against corporations. They cracked down on password sharing and signed up more users. They know that this change will force everyone into a higher tier with little to know effective pushback. I gave up my Netflix account a while ago, mostly due to a lack of good entertainment. When there is a show I want to watch I purchase a gift card and create an account for the duration it takes me to watch the season of that show, the rest of the time they get no money from me. The only way to make a corporation take you seriously is to affect their profit margin. Other than that anything and everything you do or say is just noise.

This is what I do these days too. I used to keep it around even when I only opened it like once a week, but these days I only sign up for a month here and there when I’m sick or just want convenient access to something. The rest of the time the high seas are fairly appealing

I don’t feel like what Netflix did is unreasonable, as it’s described in the article. It says that anyone who already has the plan can continue with it. They just aren’t offering it to new users.
If someone made a decision to go with Netflix based on what was on offer, it sounds like that’s not being taken away or anything.
They didn’t lure in users with one service and the expectation that the service would continue to be available and then try to pressure them to get something else instead.

Is it cheaper to get the gift card rather than just sign up for a month and then cancel?
