Netflix password crackdown has actually caused a growth in Subscriptions
The boss of the streaming giant also calls for an end to the strikes disrupting Hollywood.
I feel like other streaming platforms will follow the same process as they've proven it's worked.

As a person in charge of shared Netflix subscription for my friends I noped out the moment they started password sharing crackdown. Yeah, they added "small" charge to add more users to subscription but the writing was on the wall and I realized I was the frog being boiled.
2 of my friends went for basic plan separately. The cost of 2 basic subscriptions is about the same as 4k / 4 screens one we were using before. So yeah, subscriber count up, now Netflix needs to do a rug pull on basic plan (which they already do in US and UK).
I don't even see a need to pirate stuff from Netflix these days, barely anything worth watching. I still pay for HBO, Disney+, Apple TV+ (part of family Apple One) and Prime - which in the country I live in cost together about they same as Netflix did lol.
How much is Netflix and how much is HBO? Where I am HBO is nearly as much as Netflix. I'm curious to see what differences there are elsewhere. For me, Prime is only cost effective comparatively because I qualify as a student currently.
Can't reply to kbin accounts due to language bug so I'll reply to myself:
- Netflix 4k is 60 PLN / mo
- HBO is 30 (but you could lock in 20 if you subscribed early on, which I did)
- Dinsey+ is 29 / mo (24 / mo if yearly, which I did)
- Prime is 49 / year (4 / mo), Amazon tries to fight local competitor on free delivery and for some reason they include streaming with that
- Apple TV+ I'm getting as part of Apple One family sub (45 / mo but that's Apple Music, TV+, Arcade and iCloud for my whole household)
