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.

I didn’t want to subscribe to Netflix but I subscribed after using someone else’s account for years just because my wife was insistent about it.
We already have access to someone’s Plex with Ombi and can request whatever TV shows or movies we want. But she’s too impatient to even wait for max. 24 hours for a movie or a season of a TV show to be downloaded. And sometimes requests fail, since it’s reliant upon inherently unreliable means of downloading like torrents.
Netflix is unfortunately still more convenient than piracy for the average user. But if it was up to me only, I wouldn’t have chosen to subscribe.
I host a Plex server that my friends use, they just text me what they want and I'll get it. Is there an official request feature? Or are you just talking about asking the host like I do?

Oh, interesting. This could be useful but idk if I could get others to use it lol.
*arr can also use lists that people make. I have also seen where users can request it in Plex, and *arr will add it.
The requests bit is facilitated by Ombi - https://ombi.io
Ahh, I'll have to look into the options I've been given once I'm not shitting at work. Ombi having an app is quite intriguing. What will I, the host, be notified on if at all? Is it a Plex extension that I'd only see when I go onto my server?
Meh. We did not share our account but still canceled a few years ago. Seriously do not miss it.
How does a Netflix subscription fix this? So many interesting shows and movies are missing or barely available for a month. The catalog of Netflix used to be good when they were the only streaming service but really, really tanked when every content producer started their own (and removed their stuff from Netflix).
It fixes it for my wife who likes to watch garbage shows that Netflix has
