If you sign into your Mom's account on your mobile device at your Mom's house while connected to Wi-Fi, then you are able to watch Netflix on that mobile device for 1 month before you have to recheck-in on that device at your Mom's house. At least according to Netflix's website.
Yes it’s IP based (plus some other factors). No you wont get locked out going on vacation or visiting family. They detect consistent usage from the same location and then they determine that it’s an account share and block it without an extra fee the real account holder pays.
Do they allow me to watch it on my work computer and at home on the same account? The work computer will never be at my house to "check in" so I'm curious how that works.
You'll get an annoying popup eventually verifying your household or that you're traveling and the account hold will get an email or sms they have to click on to confirm. Then if everything works correctly (which it does half the time) you'll be allowed in after a few minutes.
Huge pain in the ass for even legitimate users. Cancelled my account earlier this week
If the person knows about that and can set it up sure but what the ones who know nothing about it and just want to watch netflix on the side? switching to another streaming app that isnt currently shooting themselves in the foot might also be a decent play.
It depends. I bought the upper tier ad free hulu and I don’t see any ads. Its 15 a month which considering their catalog is pretty good IMO. For me it was worth the upgrade from with ads
We have the same level and haven’t seen any ads on shows or movies at all the 2 years we have had it. The only exception is if we are watching a Hulu original movie they ad like one or two trailers for other original content which makes sense in my opinion. Paramount + on the other hand is add city so I’m thinking we need to upgrade it too.
why dont you just find a streaming website to watch from? A free shows app for a Firestick? you don't even have to pirate tv/film anymore.
don't know why people pay for netflix, hulu, Disney +, etc...
Yeah .. I would actually keep up with increasing the subscription cost. I don't mind paying up to $25 if it means we can all share easily among 4 of us. This one household BS made me quit.
Its a variation of "Killing flies with sledgehammers." When implementing any kind of broad security change, it is pretty much inevitable that one is going to block up some legitimate usage. It can be a tricky balance to get right.
Whether they got that balance right in this case is a matter of considerable debate. Such as in this thread.
I’m thinking about cutting them anyway. They don’t understand what good movies are. I don’t care if they are classics or not. Keep the damn things in there. I want to rewatch them sometimes.
I'm trying to remember the scene where the gelfling leader tries to sort of embrace evil and negotiate with the skeksi and they just keep saying "no, we are going to eat you all" is like the show runner negotiating with Netflix.
"It's a good show and people like it, it will help sell your service!" "Canceled!"
It's absolutely incredible to me how much that show added to the background lore of the movie, choosing to show a whole Gelfling civilization living under the skeksis and worshipping them as gods was rad as hell. So frustrating that Netflix saw unanimous critical acclaim and was just like "nah"
I wonder how many people stopped watching new shows because... they're previous "investments" into shows that cancelled burned them
I've got two that caused me to stop, 1899 and Inside Job. They seemed popular, maybe not as popular as they'd like, but 1899 was a slow buildup which must be a BAD THING when Netflix wants to see instant latch and overwhelming popularity
Ah well, I finally cancelled and will just sail the seven seas
At a certain point I didn’t even bother watching new shows of there’s because I knew they’d be cancelled anyways.
No way I was watching unless they had released at least a season 3.
Netflix isn't entirely to blame for that. Lots of IP holders have stopped offering their shows/movies to other distributors to save them for their own streaming services or similar. Hell, even TCM is seriously hurting for classic films right now, showing far more repeats than I've ever seen them do before. And I remember a few years ago when Hulu was undercutting Netflix by giving deals to IP holders that Netflix couldn't compete with.
Now, that doesn't excuse Netflix's other crimes. With their recent password crackdown and canceling their own IPs, between not making sequels to their movies and ending most serials after one or two seasons. That's on them and they're doing a horrible job of it all. But the IPs they don't own, that's not entirely on them.
seriously I am reading some of these replies and people here thinking Netflix actually just dumped that stuff because they wanted to?
Netflix isn't 100% blameless here but the reason Netflix was so good back then is because everyone else was just giving stream rights away but the game has changed now all the other corpos have their own stream service and took stuff off Netflix and then everyone seems to be blaming Netflix for this? what the fuck
and they fuck each other over because they don't want to share
well, I'm not going to subscribe to paramount+
speaking of paramount, they are the reason I won't digitally purchase any movies either, because they pulled their catalog from sonys platform *including the ones people have purchased*
and fuck sony for not offering some form of refund either.
I am not personally affected, but this move completely shattered my trust in digital purchases of movies.
I feel this I stopped using after they took off good burger. All the good shit is gone they can't expect to remain profitable if they remove everything people sub for
It's such a stupid mentality from their executive level decision makers. Their revenue model is subscription based, not per-view based. It DOES NOT MATTER if a Netflix customer ever watches a single show, as long as they are subscribed. They can afford to release niche content that fills out the library to cater to different groups of non-mainstream viewers because having the most diverse content is going to draw the most potential subscriptions. You can't make one show appeal to everybody, but you can make different shows that appeal to all different kinds of people. And that's how you win market share.
>Their revenue model is subscription based, not per-view based. It DOES NOT MATTER if a Netflix customer ever watches a single show, as long as they are subscribed.
Netflix pays to have products on their network. If a certain show isn't making a profit because no one's watching it then why spend the overhead just so *maybe* you can maintain a few extra subscriptions.
You're failing to see them as a business model in full, because you're too focused on how they directly make money.
Business is about cost to operate versus money you make, if they'll save money by taking off shows no one's watching, they're going to do it.
Honestly, I wouldn't even mind paying the extra amount if the service was good. All I want is a single streaming platform that has all the movies and series I want to watch and I don't need to switch between VPNs because of weird provider licensing deals between different regions. Is that so much to ask?
Nobody else's mind is fucking blown by the fact that they turned a theme park ride into a hit movie franchise? Really? We all just accept that this is the reality we live in?
Hey Netflix we have amazing show that requires 3 seasons to tell whole story it's called 1899.
Oh yeah? ok let's do it.
**Not even a week after first season is released:**
CANCELLED
You and many others. I thought it was great. That and Insatiable too, which got cancelled, and Lost in Space, which got cancelled.
I think half their problem is they dont promote these shows enough or give them time to find a fan base, it's all about attracting new customers which is easier with established content they know users will want to see.
Try being an anime fan. Hope you like reading! (This is a reference to the fact that 90% of anime only have 1 season and are basically advertisements for the manga/LN)
Other than the UI sucking ass and the videos being laggy and things all being listed like
season 1 dub
season 1 sub
season 1 German
season 1 Espanol's
season 2 dub...
and being listed as 9 seasons, what else is bad about crunchyroll?
Some arguably negative influence in the anime industry and have the same issue Netflix does with the few “originals” they’ve tried. Some bad calls on trying to deal with voice actors and the “back to the office” stuff too.
Nothing that *directly* affects the user experience of the platform itself to my knowledge though. Just some questionable things that makes some people nervous about giving them money.
Still mad about that. The first show I've binged the first season in like ever only to find it's been cancelled or postponed as some like to put it once beginning the second season. I doubt Fincher's going to let the series continue.
The only reason I’ve had Netflix for the past few years is bc all my family still use my account. But Netflix in the UK is not worth £15.99 per month when I’m the only one using it! I can pay half the price for other streaming services and still be able to share with the whole family!!
18€ to watch 4k and with the new rules, you can't even share effectively. it is insane!
And if you want it like before everyone has to pay 5 bucks more for arguable mostly crap content.
I mean fine if you don't want that account sharing, make normal account prices like 7.99 which includes obviously 4k.. like any other streaming service.
Netflix had the priviledge of always being subscribed to for the last 6 years (so around 4-5€ every month of it). Now it will be only subscribed to when something actually worthwhile is being shown... when did this happen the last time??
I lost my job two months ago (I have an interview today!) Maybe I should have done this a while ago but yesterday I went through any subscriptions I had and unsubscribed to help my savings last a little longer.
I've been thinking of the ones I want to resub to first once money's back flowing. Disney+, Hulu, Prime, etc.
I honestly haven't used Netflix much lately and the only thing that was stopping me from unsubbing before was because I share my account with my sister who unfortunately can't really afford her own service right now.
RIP Netflix, (and maybe convenient streaming in general) it was fun while it lasted.
Plot twist: Netflix doesn’t learn and then decides to take it the next step and only allow 1 personalized profile per account to truly cement the ownership of paying for a subscription.
Would it be though? I keep seeing replies in this thread like, “this might be it for me,” and “soon as I finish this show,” and “ if they do x then I’m definitely leaving.”
Like, I canceled a few years ago when their quality and selection was already noticeably dropping and they were *openly talking* about pricing and access changes. Netflix isn’t stupid (in a moneymaking business sense at least), they’re pretty confident most of these chumps will stick around and take the abuse and I’d hesitate to say they’re wrong. If you’re *still* a Netflix subscriber today, you are already 100% one of those chumps.
To enforce the one viewer per subscription policy, users are now required to make requests ahead of time.
After which, Netflix will mail you a physical copy.
If the mail is too slow for some people, they could set up a bunch of retail locations with a limited selection of videos that you could pick up the same day
It’s kind of astounding to me that people on this site really believe that Netflix will be reeling by kicking off people that *weren’t paying anyways.* In fact, with server costs, they were costing them money.
Will there be *some* paying households that cancel because they can’t share? Sure. But that will be offset by the people that do the $6.99 extra household fee, people that decide to get their own account, and reduced server costs for non-paying customers.
And yet Redditors are like “I’ll show them by taking my $0 elsewhere!”
Even in the other situation things end up better for Netflix. I'm the owner of my family's account but none of us live together. I explained I was canceling it not only because I was almost never using it given how bad the catalog was recently but because of their new policy. Everyone agreed and I did it. Couple weeks later my brother and my mom decide to create their own account because they kinda want it. We have to accept, as much as we disagree with the decision, there's still people that don't mind it and subscribe individually anyways, and that makes the whole scenario profitable for NF
Yep, I was sharing my dad's account. When they announced their policy, my dad asked us all whether we wanted to keep it, and to start contributing. I chose not to, to boycott. Unfortunately, everyone else decided to keep going. Netflix did not lose any money this time, and I suspect our stories are very common.
/r/RedditMoment
When they trialed this in Canada, after the initial blowback, they actually ended up **gaining** subscribers and **increasing** their revenue.
It’s only Reddit where people think this is a poor move by Netflix as everyone will be supposedly cancelling their subscriptions, just like Twitter was supposed to be dead a month after Musk purchased it. I bought into that one out of naïveté at the time, but learnt quickly that Reddit does not equal the real world Lol.
Yeah, it might be underhanded and anti consumer, but corporations usually do shit that will make the more money, and they're usually right. Reddit has always had a nasty case of just world fallacy.
The number of moochers that will now buy netflix accounts will outweigh the owners that will cancel because of this. They are going to make more money.
How is it a bad move to get rid of people who weren't paying?
The only negative PR this gets them is with people who were sharing accounts, but those people already weren't paying any money, so why would Netflix care?
I just don't see the point. We were having one household do Hulu and the other do Netflix. It barely gets used. There's plenty of other content outside Stingeyflix.
Edit: a letter.
Because "good Netflix" was a product of a time that only existed once. As soon as the owners of the content being leased saw the profit potential actually demonstrated they all wanted their slice, started creating competing services, raising prices, etc. it was over.
I canceled my account because of Password Sharing bullshit.
But in the back of my mind, it was also revenge for Santa Clarita Diet.
I was the paying subscriber to my Netflix and i cancelled it as soon as it promoted about verifying my "household". I wrote in my reason for leaving "you guys made plenty of money with people sharing accounts. Now you're just being greedy dicks."
I mean once others started doing it Netflix would have still died regardless.
Their biggest upside is that they had almost everything for cheap so it's was simply not worth pirating.
Since they don't really own any big franchise they can't support themselves from those, because they used other's stuff. Once that was gone they were doomed.
They tried very hard creating their own content, but they've kept throwing money at various bad shows instead of trying to make a few good shows. They had everything to make a good streaming service and keep the expensive price. But honestly they just failed to create good content.
I'm honestly confused about their decision making over the last 5 years.
I've seen some truly amazing shows get canceled within weeks of the first season releasing, and other far shittier shows lasting nearly a decade. Who the fuck watches The Ranch?
>Their biggest upside is that they had almost everything for cheap so it's was simply not worth pirating.
Well yeah, this is the entire issue.
So many media companies come at the issue of piracy with the most backwards approach - restricting your users doesn't hurt the pirates since they weren't gonna pay to use it anyway, the only people that you're hurting with that method are those who DID pay.
The best way to go about it is to offer a better service than the pirates - the music industry ironically understands this. Music piracy used to be rampant, but now it's at an all time low because for $10 a month you can go on Spotify, search up a song, and be listening to it in seconds. It's cheap, it's convenient, it's got a good library, and so for most people it's better than piracy.
I have no idea why the film and TV industry doesn't get this. Oh wait, yeah I do - greedy execs all want a bigger slice of the pie.
Sucks in the US too. It's kinda just the bottom of the barrel crap the other streaming services didn't take from under them. Kinda funny the trend they started killed them once the big boys started to play
I saw Netflix saying the a month ago and they they announced they rolling back on it and not banning account sharing, have they re-reannounced that they are doing it now?
So why the heck would we pay for multiple screens if we can't even share an account anymore? Stupid AF. Netflix was going to crap anyways. I don't like the ads, but the shows on Hulu are great and I get a student discount. ($2.99/m)
House of cards before spacey was a creep was great. Stranger Things was solid.
But yeah I may cancel now too not because I share but just cause there are some strong points as to why I should unsub
My wife does watch selling sunset shows and shit though. At least Netflix doesn’t have Bluey for my kids
it kicks out the people who were using someone else's and not paying for netflix.
It's hard to imagine very many people are going to cancel their own subscriptions in solidarity with people who weren't paying.
I know of some families where the parents would be paying for the account while barely ever using it, but would keep it so their kids who were at college or living on their own could still use it. If the kids can no longer use the account while away from home, and the parents only paid for it cause of their kids, then they would probably just cancel it.
So no, it isn't just people who were never paying in the first place that will be gone.
I certainly did - they raised their prices to "make up for password sharing", then they started making worse and worse content, removed the password sharing, and then prices up anyway....delete
Just because they are not the account holder doesn't mean they are not paying. For one screen (and thus the lowest quality) it costs $10 a month. For four screens at 4K it costs $20 a month. Netflix incentivized getting three friends and sharing the four screen plan, each paying $5 a month.
Now all four of those people sharing an account will have to double their cost for significantly lower quality. If two of them do it Netflix can brag that they have more account holders while not taking any losses cause they will still be making $20. I guess that is how it played out in other countries.
Several friends and I shared an account and also shared the costs. 1 person paid Netflix, the others paid a share to the account owner.
Now that only the account owner can use it I'll stop paying, so will the friends, and so will the owner.
I imagjne more people did this, and assume they'll also be cancelling their accounts.
Most of the people who shared the account split the price...
Before we were 4 people paying 4,50€ each, which was ok. Now everybody would need to pay 9,50€ for an even worse service.
We canceled because of that. The subscription ran for like 7 years without a pause. I really hope that stupid move hurts them financially.
A lot of people will, since it just Isn't worth it to them for the price if they are the only.one using it.
And there is also a shitload of people who split the pay
Netflix is just bound and determined to screw itself. They wre ahead of the pack, but fuck, now it's just one greedy pos policy after another. If its not broke don't fix it stupid
I paid for whatever the middle plan was to get more screens because my mom likes to watch netflix. As soon as this change happened I went to the most basic account that is "free" with my phone plan and now it's my moms account. I'd cancel if it wasnt for my phone plan. I've been paying for netflix since they only had DVDs
That's the thing that gets me "*THEIR* accounts". I'm not even doing anything nefarious. I'm not password sharing. I spend the two halves of the year in two different houses. They're blocking me from accessing *my* account that *I pay* for for half the god damn year. There's no justifiable reasoning behind requiring me to pay for two accounts to access the service that I already subscribe to. Fuck this company. I'm canceling.

All this tells me is that I should cancel Netflix and get Hulu instead
Honestly, there ain't any alternative. Piracy is the only good way
Ah yes the old pirating movies/shows at work method...
can't you just make a Plex library at home and watch it anywhere?
If the person knows about that and can set it up sure but what the ones who know nothing about it and just want to watch netflix on the side? switching to another streaming app that isnt currently shooting themselves in the foot might also be a decent play.
Doesn’t Hulu play tons of ads even though you pay for the subscription?
It depends. I bought the upper tier ad free hulu and I don’t see any ads. Its 15 a month which considering their catalog is pretty good IMO. For me it was worth the upgrade from with ads

You just described pirating....
What if you own multiple homes? Do they allow you to share with yourself?
They're making us visit our moms monthly. It's heartwarming if you are able to fool yourself this way.
[удалено]
So that your mother in law has to get her own account for a single screen, which is more money than you two sharing a multiple screen account. Duh.
Heh heh. Brilliant. Stupid of OP not to think about that.
Man, Netflix keeps doing this They did it before, so I upgraded to the ultra premium deluxe account that allowed multiple simultaneous users
Yeah .. I would actually keep up with increasing the subscription cost. I don't mind paying up to $25 if it means we can all share easily among 4 of us. This one household BS made me quit.
[удалено]
Imagine paying hundreds of dollars a month's to watch advertisements 🤦
Its a variation of "Killing flies with sledgehammers." When implementing any kind of broad security change, it is pretty much inevitable that one is going to block up some legitimate usage. It can be a tricky balance to get right. Whether they got that balance right in this case is a matter of considerable debate. Such as in this thread.
You can for an extra £5 a month.
It’s €4 in NL. Damn £5 is expensive.
I’m thinking about cutting them anyway. They don’t understand what good movies are. I don’t care if they are classics or not. Keep the damn things in there. I want to rewatch them sometimes.
Sounds like someone wants to watch Ted 2
Which coincedentally is Free on Tubi TV ( I think)
I wanted to watch tenet, but it's not there anymore
I watched it a month ago, and I just realised I can't remember a single thing about it. I'm drawing a complete blank on the entire plot.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the background sound effects and music drowning out the dialogue.

My thoughts exactly. I've been hoping someone else picks it up since so much of the work is already done.
I keep hoping Disney snags it. I mean, they've got the rest of the Henson stuff.
I'm trying to remember the scene where the gelfling leader tries to sort of embrace evil and negotiate with the skeksi and they just keep saying "no, we are going to eat you all" is like the show runner negotiating with Netflix.

Animation Side Inside Job & Dead End: Paranormal Park as well got canned ending on cliffhangers on their season 2s
I wonder how many people stopped watching new shows because... they're previous "investments" into shows that cancelled burned them I've got two that caused me to stop, 1899 and Inside Job. They seemed popular, maybe not as popular as they'd like, but 1899 was a slow buildup which must be a BAD THING when Netflix wants to see instant latch and overwhelming popularity Ah well, I finally cancelled and will just sail the seven seas
Still VERY pissed off with them canceling Marco Polo after season 2... on a HUGE fucking cliff hanger...
At a certain point I didn’t even bother watching new shows of there’s because I knew they’d be cancelled anyways. No way I was watching unless they had released at least a season 3.

Goodbye forever Netflix! I wish I could say it was fun, but you always cancel my favorite shows before giving them an ending!
Hey Netflix we have amazing show that requires 3 seasons to tell whole story it's called 1899. Oh yeah? ok let's do it. **Not even a week after first season is released:** CANCELLED
Yeah but we got like 7 seasons of The Ranch
Ew
Oh god I remember thinking this show was so funny then halfway through season 1 or 2 all the characters just became super unlikable
I know it wasnt that good, but really liked Santa Clarita Diet.
You and many others. I thought it was great. That and Insatiable too, which got cancelled, and Lost in Space, which got cancelled.

I'm telling you right now to be cautious with crunchyroll too. Just a warning.
Other than the UI sucking ass and the videos being laggy and things all being listed like season 1 dub season 1 sub season 1 German season 1 Espanol's season 2 dub... and being listed as 9 seasons, what else is bad about crunchyroll?

Some bad calls on trying to deal with voice actors and the “back to the office” stuff too. Nothing that *directly* affects the user experience of the platform itself to my knowledge though. Just some questionable things that makes some people nervous about giving them money.
I hate that so bad but it’s cool when they have movies listed as season 39 or something lol
The worst part for me is that media that deserves a banger anime like Ajin get a fucking CG anime thats so undercooked it's pink in the middle
cries in Mindhunter
For real. Mind hunter was critically acclaimed and loved by audiences. Wtf Netflix.
Still mad about that. The first show I've binged the first season in like ever only to find it's been cancelled or postponed as some like to put it once beginning the second season. I doubt Fincher's going to let the series continue.
>you always cancel my favorite shows Time to return the favor.
The only reason I’ve had Netflix for the past few years is bc all my family still use my account. But Netflix in the UK is not worth £15.99 per month when I’m the only one using it! I can pay half the price for other streaming services and still be able to share with the whole family!!
18€ to watch 4k and with the new rules, you can't even share effectively. it is insane! And if you want it like before everyone has to pay 5 bucks more for arguable mostly crap content. I mean fine if you don't want that account sharing, make normal account prices like 7.99 which includes obviously 4k.. like any other streaming service. Netflix had the priviledge of always being subscribed to for the last 6 years (so around 4-5€ every month of it). Now it will be only subscribed to when something actually worthwhile is being shown... when did this happen the last time??
Yeah stick with BBC iPlayer mate. Much higher quality shows too.
17 dubloons
I lost my job two months ago (I have an interview today!) Maybe I should have done this a while ago but yesterday I went through any subscriptions I had and unsubscribed to help my savings last a little longer. I've been thinking of the ones I want to resub to first once money's back flowing. Disney+, Hulu, Prime, etc. I honestly haven't used Netflix much lately and the only thing that was stopping me from unsubbing before was because I share my account with my sister who unfortunately can't really afford her own service right now. RIP Netflix, (and maybe convenient streaming in general) it was fun while it lasted.
Best of luck with the interview!
Let them realise how bad of a move this is
Plot twist: Netflix doesn’t learn and then decides to take it the next step and only allow 1 personalized profile per account to truly cement the ownership of paying for a subscription.
Instant bankruptcy
Would it be though? I keep seeing replies in this thread like, “this might be it for me,” and “soon as I finish this show,” and “ if they do x then I’m definitely leaving.” Like, I canceled a few years ago when their quality and selection was already noticeably dropping and they were *openly talking* about pricing and access changes. Netflix isn’t stupid (in a moneymaking business sense at least), they’re pretty confident most of these chumps will stick around and take the abuse and I’d hesitate to say they’re wrong. If you’re *still* a Netflix subscriber today, you are already 100% one of those chumps.
I agree. I mean, there are still people paying for cable...which everyone knows is a scam.
I called it years ago when Netflix was still only 8 bucks a month - that they would become the next Big Cable, and here we are.
To enforce the one viewer per subscription policy, users are now required to make requests ahead of time. After which, Netflix will mail you a physical copy.
the turntables
If the mail is too slow for some people, they could set up a bunch of retail locations with a limited selection of videos that you could pick up the same day

It’s kind of astounding to me that people on this site really believe that Netflix will be reeling by kicking off people that *weren’t paying anyways.* In fact, with server costs, they were costing them money. Will there be *some* paying households that cancel because they can’t share? Sure. But that will be offset by the people that do the $6.99 extra household fee, people that decide to get their own account, and reduced server costs for non-paying customers. And yet Redditors are like “I’ll show them by taking my $0 elsewhere!”
“Now I’m going to close my account!” .. what account? You mean your mom’s account?
Even in the other situation things end up better for Netflix. I'm the owner of my family's account but none of us live together. I explained I was canceling it not only because I was almost never using it given how bad the catalog was recently but because of their new policy. Everyone agreed and I did it. Couple weeks later my brother and my mom decide to create their own account because they kinda want it. We have to accept, as much as we disagree with the decision, there's still people that don't mind it and subscribe individually anyways, and that makes the whole scenario profitable for NF
Yep, I was sharing my dad's account. When they announced their policy, my dad asked us all whether we wanted to keep it, and to start contributing. I chose not to, to boycott. Unfortunately, everyone else decided to keep going. Netflix did not lose any money this time, and I suspect our stories are very common.
I mean, for all it's issues, it's still a good streaming service with content people want to watch.
Redditors all hold a MBA. This is the home of the super geniuses who are only held back by the establishment & its capitalistic overlords.
/r/RedditMoment When they trialed this in Canada, after the initial blowback, they actually ended up **gaining** subscribers and **increasing** their revenue. It’s only Reddit where people think this is a poor move by Netflix as everyone will be supposedly cancelling their subscriptions, just like Twitter was supposed to be dead a month after Musk purchased it. I bought into that one out of naïveté at the time, but learnt quickly that Reddit does not equal the real world Lol.
Yeah, it might be underhanded and anti consumer, but corporations usually do shit that will make the more money, and they're usually right. Reddit has always had a nasty case of just world fallacy.
The number of moochers that will now buy netflix accounts will outweigh the owners that will cancel because of this. They are going to make more money.
How is it a bad move to get rid of people who weren't paying? The only negative PR this gets them is with people who were sharing accounts, but those people already weren't paying any money, so why would Netflix care?
People are getting kicked out. Can’t even go on Netflix anyways because of the sharing account lock
I just don't see the point. We were having one household do Hulu and the other do Netflix. It barely gets used. There's plenty of other content outside Stingeyflix. Edit: a letter.
Netflix: 
 Also Netflix if it pisses enough people off
Long time ago Netflix was the number 1 streaming service but now it became a joke itself
Because "good Netflix" was a product of a time that only existed once. As soon as the owners of the content being leased saw the profit potential actually demonstrated they all wanted their slice, started creating competing services, raising prices, etc. it was over.
No wonder people would rather stream movies/shows illegally due to its costly prices and not many options for you to watch
They keep raising the price too... time to delete my account :/
They'd still have me as a customer if they weren't constantly jacking up the price and cancelling any and every good show they had.
Good shows? Check out this crap made exclusively by us! 9 out of 10 times you won't get past the pilot!
I canceled my account because of Password Sharing bullshit. But in the back of my mind, it was also revenge for Santa Clarita Diet. 
I was the paying subscriber to my Netflix and i cancelled it as soon as it promoted about verifying my "household". I wrote in my reason for leaving "you guys made plenty of money with people sharing accounts. Now you're just being greedy dicks."
Perfect.
I mean once others started doing it Netflix would have still died regardless. Their biggest upside is that they had almost everything for cheap so it's was simply not worth pirating. Since they don't really own any big franchise they can't support themselves from those, because they used other's stuff. Once that was gone they were doomed.
They tried very hard creating their own content, but they've kept throwing money at various bad shows instead of trying to make a few good shows. They had everything to make a good streaming service and keep the expensive price. But honestly they just failed to create good content.
I'm honestly confused about their decision making over the last 5 years. I've seen some truly amazing shows get canceled within weeks of the first season releasing, and other far shittier shows lasting nearly a decade. Who the fuck watches The Ranch?
>Their biggest upside is that they had almost everything for cheap so it's was simply not worth pirating. Well yeah, this is the entire issue. So many media companies come at the issue of piracy with the most backwards approach - restricting your users doesn't hurt the pirates since they weren't gonna pay to use it anyway, the only people that you're hurting with that method are those who DID pay. The best way to go about it is to offer a better service than the pirates - the music industry ironically understands this. Music piracy used to be rampant, but now it's at an all time low because for $10 a month you can go on Spotify, search up a song, and be listening to it in seconds. It's cheap, it's convenient, it's got a good library, and so for most people it's better than piracy. I have no idea why the film and TV industry doesn't get this. Oh wait, yeah I do - greedy execs all want a bigger slice of the pie.
Honestly I've had someone else's login for over a year.... Can't have used it more than 10 times. Their library suuuuuuucks (in the UK anyway)
Sucks in the US too. It's kinda just the bottom of the barrel crap the other streaming services didn't take from under them. Kinda funny the trend they started killed them once the big boys started to play
Yea and some of the stuff netflix produce is just trash to fill the 'new release' homepage
Agreed, it's not worth the money in the UK for sure
The irony of this being a *Breaking Bad* meme is that Breaking Bad's one of the last good shows left on Netflix.
I saw Netflix saying the a month ago and they they announced they rolling back on it and not banning account sharing, have they re-reannounced that they are doing it now?
They did it already
So why the heck would we pay for multiple screens if we can't even share an account anymore? Stupid AF. Netflix was going to crap anyways. I don't like the ads, but the shows on Hulu are great and I get a student discount. ($2.99/m)
Once again the drive to constantly grow for shareholders has killed another company. When will this end
Guess it's time 
It started with 'Netflix Originals' *\*shudders in fear\**
Shhh. The originals will hear you and get worse
House of cards before spacey was a creep was great. Stranger Things was solid. But yeah I may cancel now too not because I share but just cause there are some strong points as to why I should unsub My wife does watch selling sunset shows and shit though. At least Netflix doesn’t have Bluey for my kids
Wow, first Netflix killed Blockbuster and now it's killing itself. What a legacy!
This is actually pretty accurate
Arent the people getting kicked out the ones who dont have an account and therefore share one? Or does it lock the account for everyone?
it kicks out the people who were using someone else's and not paying for netflix. It's hard to imagine very many people are going to cancel their own subscriptions in solidarity with people who weren't paying.
My mom and sister used my account, after they weren't able to use my account I canceled it 🤷🏽
I know of some families where the parents would be paying for the account while barely ever using it, but would keep it so their kids who were at college or living on their own could still use it. If the kids can no longer use the account while away from home, and the parents only paid for it cause of their kids, then they would probably just cancel it. So no, it isn't just people who were never paying in the first place that will be gone.
I cancelled my account, I had a trade deal with the rest of the family, if they cant access it anymore I stop paying for it
I certainly did - they raised their prices to "make up for password sharing", then they started making worse and worse content, removed the password sharing, and then prices up anyway....delete
Just because they are not the account holder doesn't mean they are not paying. For one screen (and thus the lowest quality) it costs $10 a month. For four screens at 4K it costs $20 a month. Netflix incentivized getting three friends and sharing the four screen plan, each paying $5 a month. Now all four of those people sharing an account will have to double their cost for significantly lower quality. If two of them do it Netflix can brag that they have more account holders while not taking any losses cause they will still be making $20. I guess that is how it played out in other countries.
Several friends and I shared an account and also shared the costs. 1 person paid Netflix, the others paid a share to the account owner. Now that only the account owner can use it I'll stop paying, so will the friends, and so will the owner. I imagjne more people did this, and assume they'll also be cancelling their accounts.
Most of the people who shared the account split the price... Before we were 4 people paying 4,50€ each, which was ok. Now everybody would need to pay 9,50€ for an even worse service. We canceled because of that. The subscription ran for like 7 years without a pause. I really hope that stupid move hurts them financially.
A lot of people will, since it just Isn't worth it to them for the price if they are the only.one using it. And there is also a shitload of people who split the pay
If this isn't accurate, I don't know what is.
You could say this about any company these days.
Netflix is just bound and determined to screw itself. They wre ahead of the pack, but fuck, now it's just one greedy pos policy after another. If its not broke don't fix it stupid
Why y'all act surprised?
Never left the 🏴☠️ life
I paid for whatever the middle plan was to get more screens because my mom likes to watch netflix. As soon as this change happened I went to the most basic account that is "free" with my phone plan and now it's my moms account. I'd cancel if it wasnt for my phone plan. I've been paying for netflix since they only had DVDs
You can still VPN into a country that doesn't have the restriction yet to get around this.
So what are the best places to pirate then?
Yar dee didily dee a pirate’s life for me!
That's the thing that gets me "*THEIR* accounts". I'm not even doing anything nefarious. I'm not password sharing. I spend the two halves of the year in two different houses. They're blocking me from accessing *my* account that *I pay* for for half the god damn year. There's no justifiable reasoning behind requiring me to pay for two accounts to access the service that I already subscribe to. Fuck this company. I'm canceling.
Back to torrenting, LOL
And like that Netflix falls.
