"Netflix's subscriber growth slowed from a boom early in the COVID-19 pandemic but rebounded with help from global phenomenon "Squid Game," a dystopian thriller from South Korea released in September."
It is amazing that one big show can bring a significant number of subscribers in. Seems like most, if not all, services have at least one big hit, but it's never enough to get me to try. I want to see Ted Lasso, but it just doesn't seem worth signing up for yet another thing to just watch one show.

- sydbarrett74 5y agoApple et al. are starting to crack down on that practice. They've gotten wise to it and are making you jump through more hurdles to cancel after such a short interval. They're also starting to flag your account if you share your credentials with someone who is in a geographically distant location (and therefore not part of the same household).
- wlesieutre 5y agoHaven't experienced that myself, but I'll check when Ted Lasso season 3 comes out. At the very least I appreciate that Apple defaults to emailing a receipt every month when it renews, unlike some other subscriptions that go radio silent and hope you'll just never get around to canceling it.
