You’ll have to call Netflix to cancel and they’ll just pass you around the call Center until they hang up by accident.
More like, if you cancel, your account gets deleted for good, so you lose your profile with users, history, recommendations. You can pay x/month to pause your membership.

It's the go-to strategy for us as well, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts this is the next target for some sort of crackdown
They will simply make monthly plans absurdly expensive unless you commit to a 1-year contract. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
My experience of being able to search the TV app on iOS or tvOS or macOS and then being given the option to play, buy, or rent the media is pretty seamless. And subscriptions are simple to cancel, so starting them is not a concern.
Complete opposite of dealing with cable/satellite TV contracts and advertising breaks when watching stuff.
It just looks like the game is up. Every company is trying to raise prices and squeeze more, so that stock prices remain up. If they could accept a lower stock price instead, they'd just be more stable, and retain loyalty on the other side of the recession curve.

At this point they have pissed me off enough that im working on making it as easy as possible for anyone to setup and sharing it when im done.

Contacted support and they said i need to pay for a new account in that country. Netflix is really starting to lose its value for me.
