I know honesty has never really been the fundamental value of public relations initiatives, but it would be refreshing to occasionally see a company saying that they’re putting the squeeze on customers because they need to protect their margins or even just because they can. The formerly-neutral “update” is starting to rankle.
Here's an update: I'm canceling my account. The amount of entertainment I and the three people I share with get out of Netflix isn't worth the 4x cost increase. Maybe the other guys will get accounts, I don't know. I'm sure for some people it's worth it.
Yup. Especially given their propensity to cancel shows on a whim.

But as more people say that and don't bother watching until there's a whole finished story, then even more shows get canceled earlier because nobody watched the first season.
Aggressively launching lots of shows and canceling the lower performing ones might be a sound financial strategy in the short term, but I don't think it's doing great things for customer goodwill.
My daughters have been freeloading on our Netflix even though WE TOLD THEM NOT TO DO THAT. So now they'll get booted off without us having to be the bad parents texting them that we want to use it now. No complaints from me.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The idea that was floated was that they identify a device that defines the household (e.g. a TV), for example based on being always on the same SSID, or being on a wired connection, or the IP address. Then other devices need to be in the same network as that stable device at least say once a month.
Can I have my other households VPN to my local network to bypass this?
