I hate to say it, but the crackdown worked exactly as intended.

Of course it did. Why wouldn't it? It's not like anyone is thinking "oh my grandson's friend can't use my account for free anymore, I'm going to cancel my subscription now!". All while Netflix is dramatically reducing their server load costs.
