Been using netflix for 12 years now. If they roll this out for me i will instantly stop using it. I pay for 4 screens not because i use it but because i set it up for my parents and wifes parents who just don’t understand how that all works. Additionally i have a house in two countries and if they make that a pain in the butt for me I’m done as well. I’m paying for convenience I already know how to pirate all of this for free if they want to push me back that way. Netflix knew this was happening and it’s why they introduced number of active screens. Now they aren’t happy with revenue and need to move the goal posts and paint people using the platform as intended previously as lazy or freeloaders.

Yep, they're forgetting that convenience is really all they offer to an individual customer. Pirating a show is still very easy, and if you want to support the creators of the show, buying their box set off of Amazon or whatever other storefront isn't too hard and cuts out the middleman. The only reason I tolerate their skimming from the people that actually create the content I watch is that it makes the process of both watching the content and supporting the creators of the content totally painless. As soon as pirate then buy boxes becomes easier again, that's what I suspect a lot of people will go back to.
