*Netflix has no Chill*
My point is....I watch *MAYBE* 1 thing a month on Netflix....not enough to bother....but I pay $25 a month (Canadian) for 4 devices and share the password with my mom....who also maybe watches 1-2 things a month. If I can't share the password with I just cancel account and my mom is SURE not going to sign up so you will just be out a subscriber 🤷‍♀️ If I pay for *4 DEVICES* It shouldn't matter where those devices are. This will backfire horribly.

I sign up for Netflix two or three months out of the year. I sign up watch all the new stuff then cancel, wait four months and repeat. There's no reason to stay signed up all year long. Besides their original programming their catalogue is like straight to video bargain bin garbage.

"crack down"... "crack down" ?
Really, like it is a crime to enjoy your purchase at fair value.
How about screwed out of !!!

I’ve noticed they have many movies from different countries. I’ll look at a movie and think it looks good and every time it’s some bs movie voiced over in English.

If Netflix takes away the ability to share passwords I will cancel service immediately. I can only justify the twenty something dollars a month because my family uses it too. Not worth the overpriced monthly fees if I can’t share with my family.

Well Netflix just ended their own company. I give it 2 years max before they go out of business.

We had 3 separate netfix accounts. Ended up canceling all 3.

It is naive to think those who have been tagging on will start paying for subscription once they could no longer tag on. You have created this culture of sharing and it is now too hard to reverse it. It will cost lot of subscribers to reset this culture and at least a few years of time to recover, if they ever recover and not go out of business.

Management is stupid to not see this. Sometimes I have to wonder what education certificate are the people who running the business hold.

What if someone doesn't even have a home wifi network because they're always moving about? This is idiotic.

[johnclamshellsp]

Seriously though. Who the heck would ever pay money to watch TV? Biggest ripoff in history.

[goldseekersadventures]

We canceled Netflix months ago because it was the same old same movies

[kellycasperhanson]

Netflix already changed their tune, claiming this rule was never meant for the US.
Ha! Complaining in huge numbers works!

[Jsiajsuuajsjss]

I currently have Netflix but if I can’t share my password with my son n college then we will find other service

[mrackerm]

There is no longer enough content on Netflix to justify the cost. They mostly push their home grown content, only a few percent of which is worth watching. I keep toying with dumping them just based on content. If they don't stop the woke shit, I will dump them shortly. 15 years ago Netflix was the place that had everything. Now there is like one marginal movie a month and tons of crap.

[catstuffaw]

If it weren't for my kids I would've gotten rid of Netflix long ago smh.

[BitterSweetCoffee]

I canceled my subscription after 9 years.

[shellyanderson]

Netflix is so over priced! Good knowing ya

[hoosierflatty]

I hope Natasha will still Netflix and chill with me

[evsam]

For people who travel and use different devices then this really sucks! I’ll have to cancel!

[MrDJdo]

No threats i already cancelled my sub a month ago on top of that they have absolutely no leverage. Their catalogue is complete garbage so having no Netflix anymore is not a big loss.
