Yeah I'm not holding my breath on this having a big backlash at all. I think a lot of people underestimate how ingrained Netflix is for a lot of people out there.

I mean the idea here is to force account moochers to get their own subscription, and I'm skeptical this will get Netflix anything substantial. (But I guess to a capitalist culture of infinite growth, it doesn't matter so long as the net gain is above 0 lol)

I think of it in terms of piracy. When TheHyliaAnime shut down I don't think there was a mass rush of former users buying dvd sets of the shows they no longer had access to or signing up for Crunchyroll. Unless moochers are really invested in what Netflix is offering they may just adapt to not having it anymore.

Now granted I'm sure there will be enough new subs that it won't be a totally wasted effort, but at this point Netflix is trying to squeeze blood from a stone. They should be looking into other ways to make revenue besides streaming subscriptions, if they haven't already lol.
