It's funny how everyone said they would give up on netflix once the whole password sharing was tossed out, but here we are with netflix hitting higher numbers and no one leaving. Every streaming service out there is gonna follow the same practice since it'll make them more money. If you dont agree with how they are doing things, then leave. It's the only way to influence their decisions.
I did. I'm disappointed, but not surprised that it worked. I have no problems dropping Disney, too. The open sea is vast.
Netflix did get screwed - their numbers increase is at low profit regions, meaning their operating costs go up while revenue increases only marginally compared to higher priced regions.
My threat hasn't changed. I split my time between three states and so far hasn't given me shit any time I switch location. The moment they do, I cancel. I'm mostly watching Paramount+ and Pluto anyway.
Well, as long as your devices are not TVs and are online from your "household" location at least once every 30 days, it shouldn't complain as far as I understand it
I have to move my household everytime I switch locations since I normally spend months at a time per place. As long as it lets me do this as much as I need to, we're cool. The moment it tells me I've reached a limit to the number of times I can switch locations within a given time period, I'm moving on.
The first 2 months dont really count. People wanna finish that one show or continue until they find a good replacement.
People on reddit/lemmy said they would leave. They dont really represent the vast majority.
