[LFAQs-redacted-quote] People will literally go to war for their precious shows/movies. This will make a barely noticeable dent in their numbers. Wish that wasn't the case, but I have zero faith that people will separate themselves from Netflix. They didn't do it when the library got smaller/worse. They didn't do it with the 9+ price increases. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Punished_Blinx posted... 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. --- Lusa Cfaad Taydr ... Copied to Clipboard!

For me I think this may eventually kill Netflix. Sure its got big tent pole releases like Stranger Things and Wednesday. But those shows are usually 2 years between seasons. The much bigger draw for streaming is comfort back catalogue shows like The office. And Netflix is losing those to other streamers.
