    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.

    I don’t get it why people still pay for such a service. This decision was the last drop for me to stop using them. Sad to see what modern internet has become…

    And they’ll just keep on raising subscription costs after that, too!
