Netflix’s Password Sharing Cash Grab Finally Arrives in the States

  That's such a clever move. Encourage password sharing during the growth phase, make as many people hooked on the service you're providing and then a few years later make a complete 180 asking everyone to pay after all.

    "Hooked" seems like kind of a strong word. It's not like MS encouraging piracy of Office. You're not locked in. There are lots of alternatives. If anything, Netflix has undercut that. They have a well-known habit of introducing shows and canceling them. You can't be hooked on Warrior Nun. If you want to know the ending of Fate: The Winx Saga, subscribing to Netflix won't help. So yeah, they want more cash for their service, but it seems weirdly entitled to me for people to demand that password sharing continue. They always knew it wasn't the intended use.
