I've disliked their content for years. Every show that goes past its first season falls apart. Their ideas for shows seem to heavily target developing markets too, rather than the US/Canada.

While I understand that this is a problem for real people, I feel like this is a less of a blame Netflix and more of a blame the people that gave out their Netflix info to anyone who asked, or did not change their password regularly if they did share it a little.

They openly supported password sharing prior to this, this isn't the result of people taking advantage of something they told people they could do.

Netflix was the one who originally told people to share So, the blame should most definitely go to Netflix

Fuck that. Netflix are the ones who encouraged doing it.

Also, I am hearing it only effects it if you watch on a TV, whatever that exactly means. Not sure if that just means smart tvs or if it extends to video game consoles. Maybe they figure people who watch Netflix on PCs would be more likely to pirate stuff.

Not only did they openly support it, their higher tiers were already an extra cost for sharing.

The lowest price tier was one screen; medium tier was two, and highest tier was four screens simultaneously.

I keep my Netflix exclusively for a friend out of state that can't afford it.

If she gets blocked, I'll probably just delete my Netflix and invest the money in something else.

It's more of a "Blame every shitty company who decided they too need some sort of paid streaming service and now everyone's shit is just as much if not more then cable was so people had different services while trading accounts for others with their friends."

Netflix hasn't had any good programs in awhile anyways. For many people who first started subbing to Netflix, it was mostly a Stranger Thing streaming service anyways.

Youre blaming Netflixs actions on the fact that they have competition?

I seriously doubt Netflix has "balls" as most likely they just forgot they even tweeted that because they're a corporation that probably has like hundreds of different people running their twitter accounts.

How can they call them a streaming service if customers aren't allowed to stream? Have they not heard of the internet? What's the point; because it sure isn't their bottom tier content?

Chances are it only affects TVs and stuff because many people use theirs phones to watch away from home. And if it affected those, they would make it so people who use it at work or on vacations could barely use their own subscription just because they used it away from home

You know what? Yes.

Netflix isn't trying to be competitive. This just smells like a plan for short-term gains, soon followed by parting out the library to various competitors for additional short-term gains, then just folding. Basically Sears all over again.

I dont agree. I personally would say it's clearly a long term adjustment. They're taking hits on subscribers today to end password sharing's effect on future profits.
