Yep. I used to share my account with my family before Netflix’s password sharing crackdown. When they did it, I deleted my account day 1.
My dad and my sister just resubscribed separately. Unfortunately, a net win for them. Efectively +1 user. Just one example, but I’m betting this worked for many more of their users.
Yep. If you judge how Netflix is doing by Lemmy/Reddit comments alone, you’d think they’d be hemorrhaging subscriptions. But nah. They’re pulling records of money with these policy changes and price hikes. Turns out people just pay up.
Which is good, they still produce a few good shows per year, so be glad that enough people are throwing their money away so that you can pick their fruits.
I understand wanting them to go bankrupt (or be punished some other way) for their business practices, but they still produce a handful of good shows per year, so is it so bad that someone pays them for it? Be glad that enough people are throwing their money away so that you can pick their fruits.
Maybe some day it’s too expensive for your dad and sister and then you are there to show them a better way.

I actually went out and got Chromecasts + a VPN to my network. Now I just threw it out altogether and set up jellyfin instead.
