Ever since Netflix announced it would start cracking down on password sharing, the movie streaming company has received a lot of blowback from customers. But, the numbers don’t lie: The unpopular move from Netflix seems to have worked in the company’s favor.
the bad ending :(
I wish I could wrap my head around this. Company goes from “love is sharing a password” to we’re going to charge extra for any connections outside what we determine to be your home network.
And the customers keep coming.
It feels like we just accept whatever abuse companies push to us, we open our wallets and say take whatever you want.
I mean… I unsubscribed. /shrug
I’m honestly surprised to hear this. With the massive drop in quality in Netflix-produced content, with huge swaths of their licensed content being removed every month, and with how unpopular these decisions were, I’m surprised that there’s still people wanting to subscribe to Netflix in the first place.
I cancelled and my subscription stated my cancellation was for period ending in 2018.
Maybe it actually is a spike and people really can just be forced into spending more, but I’ve seen so many companies game metrics to create a narrative for their desired outcome that I’m forced to be skeptical.
