Netflix's password-sharing crackdown begins in Canada, Spain, Portugal & NZL

[Madonno]

Already cancelled my account

Bye *******

I thought I read that, for an "additional sharing account," Netflix would charge you 3.99 or 4.99? Is that still a thing or nah?

I'll tell my folks to just downgrade to the one-screen basic plan, then, since my mom's really the only one who watches stuff on Netflix anyway.  Maybe we can make the "get a code" thing work for the rare occasion that Netflix has something I want to watch.

 

They're not getting a subscription out of me, though.  I watch literally all other streaming services we have (even Peacock!) more than Netflix these days

So stupid.

Good thing I no longer rely on Netflix for entertainment

The fact that if this ends up being a successful strategy then theres a potential that other streaming services will follow suit

This…

Definitely not a good look

[Martyr Of Fame]

$7.99 for additional users??? ******* stupid

If they thought that era where they split dvds and streaming was bad, just wait 6 months

THIS is what I'm afraid of. Netflix better flop hard with this or streaming will turn bad real quick

HBO Max >>>>>

 

Paramount is ok, but HBO Max is 100x better.

Guess I will buy a Friends boxset and spend even more time on Hayu

I canceled my subscription last night, and so many people I know on twitter have done it too. 

 

However, something tells me (hope I'm wrong) this may not backfire as much as we want or expect. I'm pretty sure many people will feel forced to have a Netflix account on their own, increasing their subscribers. 

 

For example, I used to share an account with my friend and her family. Now that we have canceled it, she will probably pay for a plan on her own, her parents will do the same and maybe her two sisters. That means Netflix would gain three more subscribers that were not there before lmao.

I didn't. I have over thousands of Blu-Ray's and DVD's and still buy them. But to be honest, i still often use streaming anyway.
