So much editing needed, ASAP:

Coming soon to Netflix.. Is It Dog?

Narrator: She was not, in fact, cake.

I mean, like 77% of Discovery Plus is stuff like this, and they seem to be doing pretty well for themselves.

Reasons other than password sharing that Netflix is losing subscribers:

* Financial situations changing and people having to cut out non-necessities they can no longer afford
* Losing specific shows/movies to other streaming services
* Not realizing Stranger Things was a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of lightning and holding…

Imagine going to a movie theater and buying 4 tickets to a movie, but your 3 friends/family members who don’t live with you, aren’t allowed to sit in those seats because they aren’t part of your “household” and they need to each buy 4 seats as well.

Also seems like a great way for Netflix to sell large enterprise-level subscriptions.  Think if every Hyatt-affiliated hotel had free Netflix.  They’d get paid by Hyatt and likely attract new subscribers.

It’s less that consumers love free shit and more that sane people share expenses with each other. 

It’s ironic that cord-cutting and streaming subscriptions were pitched as a low-cost alternative to $100+ cable subscriptions, yet to get close to the same viewing options today you’d have to subscribe to so many services that it’s now more expensive.

What you don’t get is that all possible implementations of this end up with Netflix losing more customers than it gains, and making people think of Netflix as a brand in a negative light.

They’ll soon realise that the best way to restrict the sharing of accounts is by sending you a physical copy of your requested media... content... hangonasecond, that sounds familiar?

Nice way to screw people who travel frequently for work

It does indeed. Being able to stream on two devices simultaneously costs more than one ... and 4 costs more than two.  They ALREADY solved their problem, they are just trying to get more money - basically changing from “we charge if you do this” to “we charge if you want the opportunity to do this ... even if you…

I’m my home I have 3 TVs, an assortment of tablets, 2 phones, multiple laptops, multiple PCs, consoles, fire sticks, etc. If I’m in a hotel without any of those things I can still log into Netflix on the hotels TV/computer. The point was easy access across all of those devices. Netflix starts locking it down to…

Or the media picked the story up in the hope that awareness would prime people to resist it.

The reality that they don’t understand is that nobody shares just one service. My parents pay for Prime, Paramount+, and Disney+. I access their accounts in exchange for access to my Netflix, Hulu+, HBO Max, and Shudder. I guarantee we aren’t the only people doing this. Streamers want to be a cable alternative but you…

It wasn’t, though. Mary Pickford is right. I’m already paying extra for the ability to stream on two devices at once. And the only reason to do that is so I can share my account if my parents happen to be watching at the same time as me. They already solved their supposed problem. They’ve made up this “other" issue to…

Its not really free.. but the issue is, we have a MOBILE lifestyle.. everyone does these days.. from going to work, to generic trips.. it means you are not always going to be at a physical location for most streaming..

Example: Lets say I have 4 people in the house.. 1 Kid, GrandPappy, the wife and Me.. Wife and Me…

They already limit how many people can watch at once (one at a time on the lowest tier plan) which is reasonable and keeps any password sharing among people you’d trust. If someone lets their parents use their Netflix account they either have to spring for an expensive multi-user plan or never use it at the same time.
