why do you still have it after all this time

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 1 points 10 months ago

Because they we're really doing anything bad until now. Raising prices is not a dick move. It's a private company offering entertainment. They can milk it however they want and I can cancel it when I decide it's not worth it.

I'd argue it's not been worth it for a long time. Also raising prices may not be that bad but ~~limiting your access to only one IP adress~~ preventing password sharing definitely is a dick move.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 3 points 10 months ago

Well, that' really depends if you like their content or not, right?

Also, they don't limit your access to one IP. You can download things on your tablet to watch later and you can stream from different locations when you travel. They really only complain if you stream from two completely different geographical locations at the same time.

Define "different geographical equations". Can you still share it with a friend? I thought they prevented that.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 10 months ago

No, you define "limiting access to one IP". Because they don't do that. It's not the same as preventing password sharing. They can prevent sharing password without limiting IP addresses.

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 0 points 10 months ago

okay preventing password sharing is a dick move then

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 10 months ago

Why? Can you share a Windows licence? Is that also a dick move?

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

You pay to be able to use your account on a certain amount of devices. It shouldn't matter where those devices are located.

A windows license is just for one device so your comparison doesn't work.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 1 points 10 months ago

You pay for what the TOS says. Netflix's TOS say 'any number of devices in the same household. What you're complaining about is that they didn't enforce the rule from the beginning. You're basically complaining that Netflix offered you their service for lower prices for some time before enforcing the real price.

look if you don't believe it's a dick move that's fine, we can have different opinions
