Current Events > Why do people have a problem with Netflix stopping password sharing?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Freeloading is theft.

The way they're doing it will impact everyday users.

Because they literally offer a plan with 4 screens at once?

IIRC, TC hates poor people so anything that hurts them is cool in his book.

Because Netflix sucks

Because I don't want to pay for Netflix and I don't care about their profits? That's why I have a problem with it.

Shouldn't I get a rebate for being a single screener?

That's a problem with you.

And it's gonna be a problem with Netflix because there's a lot of people like him..... out there.

i'm annoyed because it's going to affect me just based on travel and visiting people. i guess i can always just bring my Roku with me, instead of signing into my Netflix account wherever i go. but it's an extra hassle i need to go through just to use their service.

i'm pretty close to just dropping it, honestly. this might be the last straw.

Thieving >>> corporate simping

Ugh, I don't want to start paying for Netflix. Not fair as I get Netflix from my ex, and she gets HBO and Disney+ from me. I am already paying more and now I am definitely screwed lol

Because they were used to getting away scot free for years.

Now their ex from 3 years ago who was using their password, has to cough up 10 bucks a month.

You're not wrong, but do I make her get her own HBO and Disney or is that just mean?

This. They literally built their business model on lies and an unsustainable idea that is going to screw over anyone who can't go "home" every month.

Yeah exactly. Also fuck em that's y

I'm paying for 4 screens but only have 2 TVs and dont watch on a phone or laptop. I don't think most people do unless they are travelling.

Why does it matter where those other 2 screens are? They are already being paid for.

It's dumb.

I bet tc has no issue when corporate freeloads off their employees.
"Oh we missed your overtime!"
"Oh check is delayed!"
"Oh you are laid off!"
"Oh your wage is suppressed!"
Just business right?

This is the equivalent to the scene in SW TESB with Vader and Lando: that wasnt the deal
pray I dont alter the deal any further

People are upset because they understood that Netflix had one policy towards password sharing and they are now changing that policy.

Netflix is free to do that but its easy to understand and its not theft under their current terms.

The measures that theyre bringing in will adversely affect me and I dont even share my password.

The value proposition is no longer there.
The prices have gone up while content evaporates, and the only reason it was worthwhile was sharing it with your grandma or whoever.

Now they're going to harass and annoy you for watching your own damn netflix sub while on vacation or camping or whatever.

Were they getting his money in the first place?

Because Netflix literally encouraged it in the past and is doing so in a super clumsy greedy way that will screw over many regular users who don't even password share.

This sums it up.

Because that was the original agreement

Because it's obviously anti-consumer bullshit. Especially if you're paying for a certain number of screens. It shouldn't matter where it's used.

Also because every other fucker is gonna copy them soon enough.
