Especially for the first months after the change. Their entire bet was that the number of account sharers that would now become subscribers would be greater than the number of current subscribers that would stop subscribing...and that doesn't actually feel like too big of a stretch in the short term. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:974481486] in Netflix ha...

Their entire bet was that the number of account sharers that would now become subscribers would be greater than the number of current subscribers that would stop subscribing...and that doesn't actually feel like too big of a stretch in the short term. In the short term, I can definitely see that happening. Either gaining subscribers, or many subscribers upgrading/adding accounts to their existing account. I just think of my personal experience. My In-Laws would have no issues cutting me a check for $100 to add their house to my account for a year. And I can see many others follow. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. <cite>bigblu89 posted [p:974483115] in Netflix ha...

I dont think theyve used it in awhile so I dont know of maybe it doesnt do anything until it detects its being accessed by more than one location. --- Probably the only Mario Maker 2 level I'll ever create worth sharing. 1RT-9RG-QKF <cite>Cory898 posted [p:974483264] in Netflix ha...

Because there are ways to fudge their numbers to make themselves look better. Like saying people switching to a lower tier as people being added. --- Narutaki was right.

steve_madsci 06/28/23 1:27:35 PM #55:	I'm needing to cut costs and reduce my number of subs and Netflix made that decision very easy; if there's anything I want to watch, I'll just get it another way. It's a shame because Netflix was the longest continuously subbed account I had (if you count the time I borrowed my parents password. ) <cite>steve_madsci posted [p:974483437] in Netflix ha...

It's like selling someone a car, and then charging them extra for letting someone else drive it.
