But when the norm that’s been established is that literally none of the other celebrities did this, it does in fact rise above enough to warrant a cookie. Yes, that speaks more about the others than her, maybe, but it sure seems like it’s apparently less obvious than it seems. Same as when 90% of my users fail a…

Glad to see the “well ackshually this isn’t impressive because...” commenters already out.  I wonder why....?

So then why did so many high-profile celebrities fall for this shit?

Would you have had the knowledge to ask about unregistered securities if FTX had pulled up with a dump truck of cash?

Plus, you can be smart and do every possible bit of research and analysis possible, and whether it’s luck, timing, or some other factor that it’s impossible to account for comes in and throws a spanner in the works.

Wow, they really are intent on encouraging their current subscribers to move to other streaming services.

The lack of clarity, the annoying processes (revalidation with a person who may not even be contactable with 15mins), it all adds up to bye bye netflix.

Netflix: “Hey, password sharing is a problem, so let’s treat ALL of our customers like criminals, and make it as annoying and inconvenient as possible for them to simply access the service they are PAYING us to use!”

I can’t speak for how many subscribers they will lose but they will lose me unless I can pay to share it with my parents who live in a different state from me. Or to put it differently, they will lose me as a “full-time” susbscriber.

I keep my account active for my parents and grandparents to use, since they’re on fixed incomes. I don’t even use it myself. If they make it too problematic to keep this arrangement going, I can guarantee they’ll lose at least one subscriber, and they won’t be picking up three more.

+ Two people agree to split the cost of Netflix
- Do people actually do this? Like are they people Venmoing people $7 a month for Netflix?

Hulu’s cheaper and has a lot more content. Maybe not as much “originals”, but Netflix originals aren’t that great anyway. Commercials suck, but c’est la vie.

For me the rules are simple, if they block my friend who I share the most expensive account they have from using the account or want to charge her or us more for sharing it, then we’ll cancel the account and may pirate some of their shows if I’m interested in them.

I’ve paid for Netflix for years, but I share it with four different people, all of whom give me something in return (except for my mom, she can watch for free because she’s my mom). I’m not planning on cancelling if this is implemented, but I’ll definitely be scaling back from the “four concurrent streams” plan I pay…

*sigh*

Nail in the coffin...

I’m sure there are plenty of people who are like me who shares their account with their entire, immediate family. Mine: 3 young children (2 who don’t live with me permanently), 1 adult child, and my wife.

That sounds like it will be a shit show. I am paying for the biggest netflix subscription, which allows 4 people to stream at the same time and I do have 2 or 3 friends that have access to my account.

If Netflix enforces this, I will gladly cancel my account and get HBO or whatever. 

On one hand Netflix has every right to charge for their service, but they need a sensible way that works for the majority of people.

Here’s where it gets even more effed up:

What about people who use a VPN at home?

The purpose of a VPN is to prevent people from tracking down to see where you’re at, and if they’re determining your home by your IP address, it ain’t gonna happen! So now you’re burned by having a device that’s “outside” of your home,…

So instead of people keeping Netflix to browse when they’re bored just in case they find something worth watching, or having play in the background, people will cancel their subscriptions except for months when they’re binge watching a specific show. That’s what I do with all of my other streaming apps, but I’ve…
