    I hate Netflix as much as you guys do and I think their content is dogshit, but you’re naive if you think they’re going under any time soon. Their revenue increased from the password sharing ban crap, and it’s likely only like 1% of people used the 720p plan anyway. Netflix is ass but financially they’re chillin.

      I still pay for NF and will probably keep paying for it in the foreseeable future. There is some local (Thai) content on it that my partner wants to watch. Content on any of the other services is too little to even bother with.

      I pirate whatever looks interesting and isn’t on NF.

      And what is the price? I think it’s like $16 CAD a month or so? So the price of a movie ticket and not even enough for a small popcorn. I find it a bit overreacting that people act like that’s way too expensive for what you get out of it. Used to be that I’d spend way more than that for a TV show season on DVD that I’d finish in a week.

      I’m not saying this is a good move. But the folks vowing to only ever pirate because a month of content costs about as much as my local hourly min wage seems a bit much.
