It was big news when Netflix decided they no longer allowed people to share accounts. Is that not making it harder to stream?

They also attempt to combat VPNs by cutting out mid-show. That definitely makes it harder to stream.

You're technically correct that the studios are the biggest reason Netflix's catalogue has went to shit, but as a consumer that's really not my problem. If studios want to make it difficult to pay for media I'll simply go somewhere more convenient. That might mean studios get less money from me but that's something they did to themselves.
