Yes, that is the last paying option left. Obviously, that's not appealing though, so I'm more likely to seek out alternatives.

- tptacek 4y agoI think the subtext is: you don't have a problem. You have a single-household Netflix account. You're the kind of account Netflix likes.
- ZeroCool2u 4y agoI'm not sure I agree. If the choices are: I can keep my account and downgrade my plan and then pay for a separate account for my Mom, then they would make about the same or even less money. They certainly won't be getting any ad revenue from either account. I can cancel my account outright and get my content through alternative methods where Netflix is not compensated. It seems to me the choice is obvious here and the calculus doesn't swing in Netflix's favor. Perhaps for the majority of the subscriber population it will, but that's a bit of a gamble when my generation and really every other generation after grew up knowing how to pirate whatever they wanted.
- tptacek 4y agoIf your mom is the only user, what is the difference to you?
- ZeroCool2u 4y agoShe's not the _only_ user, it's just that my "households" usage doesn't justify the expense and effort.
- seba_dos1 4y agoAnd the other subtext is: paying for an account that's usable only in the other single-household is unattractive enough to seek alternatives instead of keeping the subscription.
