Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdown::Netflix subscriptions are up almost 6 million this quarter, suggesting we’re all just too exhausted to fight this stuff

    I had a feeling they would but I did leave myself. Only problem is the person I was sharing with made an account so it was a net 0 impact.

      I get the feeling that the kind of person that is on Lemmy is the kind of person that ain’t gonna take no shit and drop it just to stick to the man. I myself dropped Netflix but seems to be a common theme here.

        The kind of person on lemmy is probably already self hosting a plex server that has all the content they care about and sharing it with their inner circle

          Honestly I mostly stopped using it a couple years ago. Only when I was bored and was surfing for something to watch. The main reason I had it was for my retired inlaws, so after I cancelled I ended up setting them up with their own account though at a lower rate. So I still consider it a loss for them.

      I know the feeling. I hate Netflix with a passion but my SO uses it. I have a Plex server full of stuff and constantly adding and showed her how. I cancel Netflix every month though 😂 can usually make it a day or 2 passed when it was supposed to renew before she uses it again and resubscribes.

      I have a feeling this will happen for me as well. I have a family member on my account (I only shared it after the CEO encouraged it, so they can piss up a rope for flip flopping now). She has been afraid to use Netflix over the news, because she isn’t sure what’s going to happen. I don’t think I’ve used it in over a month as well. Whenever this comes to a head and we have to split it up, I’m cancelling. I had plans to cancel several years ago, but kept it for her. I’d say it’s 50/50 if she signs up for her own account or not. But either way, it doesn’t sound like it will make much of an impact.
