#3I'm sure they'll hint at it but if they're doing it then they're truly desperate. Certainly they know better than most that people willing to tolerate sharing an account aren't going to pay for a subscription when they get kicked off.

#4It's the equivalent of a politician blaming the press when things go south. Maybe stop wasting the military budget of a medium-sized country on poorly-curated content.

#5Also hinted at ad supported tier. Probably roll those out together
Then get acquired within a decade.

#6For me, Netflix needs higher quality content.
More creative risky shows like the OA, Altered Carbon, Love, Death & Robots, Black Mirror and more old HBO style content… quality vs factory cookie cutter produced stuff trying to satisfy the lowest common denominator, because then you will satisfy no one.
Maybe they have good shows I just don't know about. Their recommendation system seems to be crap. I browse for 20 minutes and then give up frustrated, because I can't find anything interesting.
Today I was looking to downgrade my plan. Basic only gives you SD quality, which I'm OK with but only allowing one device at a time is taking the p!ss.
It's getting too expensive for what it is.
So rather than downgrading I'm now thinking about cancelling. If their Basic plan would support 2 concurrent devices then I'd stay.
Well done Netflix.

#7It will be interesting to watch Netflix pivot from a media company to an ad tech company. Maybe Netflix will do a documentary on it.

the content really has gotten pitiful; I use netflix, hulu, hbomax and amazon prime (and honestly mostly watch free content on youtube) - netflix is my last choice when trying to find something to watch - and yes, I share the account with my adult children.
If they crack down on sharing, count me in as another lost subscriber - seems they are biting the hands that feeds them with this move - reeks of desperation.

#9They put the UK prices up on a family account up from £12 to £14 in March 2021, and now again to £16, from next month. I.e. 30% over 14 months.
In the interim content I appreciate has got ever scarcer - when it comes to that, I'm willing to be patient, a little, on account of Covid-caused production delays - but coupled with incredible price rises and complications for other users on this account? And everlasting UI headaches (having to hunt for something just to resume watching it; difficulty hiding recommendations I don't appreciate)? Forget it.

With our family we use Netflix > Disney+ > Prime Video > Apple TV.
(I dont have a Taiwan CC for HBO, and Hulu isn't available outside of the US)
