      You would think people would boycott, go elsewhere, or sail the high seas. But apparently they’re idiots. After Netflix’s last giant price hike and not allowing accounts to be used from a different address their revenue went way up.

      Depressing.

        I tried to cancel mine about 2 years ago, because I never watch it and it’s not worth the money, and that’s when it was $10. The day I canceled it, my wife threw a fit and started her own account.

          I feel ya. I’ve canceled Disney+, the subscription doesn’t run out until the end of February, and my wife has been begging to keep it. Convenience has people by the balls/ovaries.

        Part of the reason is that unless you’re technical, you can’t really pirate.

        And it’s “illegal” to share urls for popular free, no registration, streaming sites.

        I still wasn’t shit with the password sharing block. Sure, I was warned a few times, bit no real action so far.

      When the ads and password sharing mitigations were being rolled out, many hundreds of comments saying they would cancel service and claiming how this would hurt their bottom line rather than help.

      They added subscribers last year.

      I think they’re sure.
