    My mind boggles at this.

    1. Netflix was already charging per screen, so there really were never any free loaders.
    2. This represents a massive price jump for most users.
    3. Now if you want to use the service on the go, you basically can’t.
    4. There is a bunch of competition now

    I just get so tired of everyone rolling over and taking whatever mega corporations dish out. I would have thought on a non-essential service would be easy to push back against. Clearly I was wrong. Now every other service will see this as an opportunity.

    Sometimes I hate people.
