This is the thing, I pay for a family plan with 4 concurrent streams. I allow my mom and brother to use this account. They barely use it. But the service isn't worth $20 to me if they cut them off. I will just cancel it, and they wont pick it up either. If you sell me 4 concurrent streams, then I want to be able to use them regardless of physical location.
- andsoitis 4y agoSo you’re paying $20 for a service that you and your brother and your mother barely use? Why?
- smugma 4y agoIf a movie rental is $6 and you watch one movie a month, it’s maybe worth it if 3 people are watching 1 movie a month (plus a little extra). But not worth $20 for 1 movie or show a month. Better off just renting stuff or buying shows. Or for some people, worth toggling subscriptions as needed eg I subscribed to Hulu to watch The Bear, Peacock for the Olympics, Fox for the World Cup, etc. Then cancelled immediately after (with Apple I can cancel immediately after subscribing, so I don’t forget!)
- nickthegreek 4y agoI signed up to Netflix prestreaming. When they switched to streaming, it was a great deal. They had loads of content and no competition. That is not the case anymore. I continued to pay because I used it enough that it was worth it. Then I kept it because my mother and brother couldn't afford it on their own and I wanted to provide some value to them. Netflix is making me re-evaluate the value they provide us. Here is a corporation that I have been paying for for over 15 years. My oldest subscription. If they are about to lose me, imagine how many others are on the fence as well.
- tptacek 4y agoYou should cancel Netflix!
- taeric 4y agoI just find this hard to really come to terms with. Why is access for others a consideration to what it is worth to you? And do you have any logic that would allow you to share with family, but would not allow friends to share? For that matter, why can't I just pay one login for my entire neighborhood? (And before you think that is obviously wrong, realize that some buildings do just that sort of agreement for cable tv access.)
- torstenvl 4y agoIf Netflix had advertised itself with "neighborliness is sharing a password" and encouraged people to sign up for 30-screens-at-a-time plans, you might have a point. But they didn't.
- harshalizee 4y agoActually they did. https://twitter.com/netflix/status/840276073040371712 https://twitter.com/netflix/status/840276073040371712
