Despite the negative responses about Netflix’s password-sharing rules, the streamer saw nearly 100,000 daily sign-ups, per Antenna.

    I actually had no issues with Netflix enforcing their ToS but people can of course cancel their subscriptions if they want. I have no issues with paying for a good service.

      The problem I had was I was basically paying so my parents could use it - and they are mostly using my other sibling’s HBO account. I barely watch TV and would only really put it on to have something to fall asleep to, so at least in my case, they’ve lost minimal my account’s minimal usage + whatever I was paying them.

        I understand and that’s your experience of course, you can add non household members for a small fee if needed.

        Personally I enjoy that they have a lot of Star Trek and anime, they also revived some really good shows like Manifest.

          Thats fair I suppose. If it has what you want then thats good. I never found it to be convenient at all for my tastes.
