Always has been.
Why? What did they do before?
Increasing pricing while removing content is the first thing i could think of
Yeah, but just a reason to re-evaluate if the content they have is worth the money. It's not like they have some moral obligation to keep the prices low. I don't see it as a dick move. I don't have any other video streaming subscriptions so it wasn't a big difference for me.
They banned password sharing (family account) if everyone doesn't live in the same location sometime ago.
and still people are lazy enough to just pay those bucks more a month
I don't see this as a dick move. The rules were clear from the start, they just started enforcing theme. It's not a bait and switch or something.
I guess the "Sharing is Caring" campaign was just a fever dream then.
If you subscribed to Netflix because you planned on sharing password and you think it's not worth the full price then the moment you can't share your password anymore and you cancel it. No money lost, you used it for some time and now you don't use it. What's the problem? Did you get addicted to it? It's not cigarettes. Seriously, it's entertainment and people talk about it like its insulin.
I wasn't sharing my password with anyone so I didn't care about the policy change.
Why are they reinforcing this "rule" now than before?
Because they feel like they can. What's the difference? I did feel cheated in any way.
Is that how corporations or anyone work? They just do it because they feel they can?
Yes, corporation raise prices when they think people are willing to pay higher price for their product. Is this news to you? Where do you live? I would like to move there and live happily without ever knowing how the world functions and worrying about it.
I'm the one who doesn't know how the world functions? I have a bridge for you to buy.
Buy? Give it to me for free. Apparently no one cares about profits in this world.
Ssh we're mad at netflix, you're not supposed to be defending them...
Shm yeah netflix may be scum, but enforcing password sharing policies, which had been part of the EULA from day 1, isn't scummy.
They marketed 4 streams. Not 4 seats. [And only getting 1 seat 4 times, which is fucking pointless.] That's a whole different meaning. No one reads the EULA so it doesn't fucking matter what horse shit Naziflix puts in the fine print.
