Comment on Netflix Gains Six Million Subscribers After Password Sharing Crackdown

Uh. Didn’t predict this.
Yet another example of corporations running the world and nothing to be done about it on an individual level.
May the world burn.

I mean, there are plenty of things to criticize Netflix for (SAG-AFTRA say hello), but not allowing people who aren't paying for their service to use it for free really isn't a particularly heinous crime in my eyes. It's annoying, because having to pay for things is annoying, but it's not like it's actively immoral
They're not using it for free, though. If I have a Netflix account with multiple profiles, I'm paying for that. I don't see why I don't get to determine who get to use those profiles.
Particularly after Netflix's own marketing department pushed out that "Love is sharing a password" tweet.
If they wanted to bump the price of multi-profile accounts, fine, but this accusing your customers of wrongdoing for doing something you yourself promoted is bullshit.
Have you ever heard the stories of the Dutch and British East India Companies? They’re not stories the capitalists will tell you
Guessing the gains are in places the policy isn’t in effect. I’d be surprised if they grew in the US.
The article says this growth is happening on places where the restrictions were made. So I would say it is up in the US.
