Your comment adds nothing useful to the discussion, as GP never said it was a matter of cost. I am in the same boat and it’s about convenience and/or the loss of what we currently have. Netflix both raised prices and reduced what you get.

Yeah, it's not a matter of angry feelings, it's just a cost-benefit analysis I'm guessing they aren't actually going to put this into action in the USA, but we'll see how it goes I'd personally be fine with paying for 5 different streaming video services, but my wife is too frugal and makes me cancel one when I start another.. presumably a lot of people are in the same boat, and would look at this as a good opportunity to try out Disney+, HBO Max, etc

  Just curious, what makes you think they won't do it here? I think they're 100% greedy enough to do it here. And at that point, I'll cancel. I've already kind of accustomed my parents to it by reminding them that it takes them half an hour to find anything that they even want to watch on Netflix.

    I just think they'll play around with it in smaller regions to see the effect and run a cost-benefit analysis before they risk angering their primary money maker

I disagree, if cracking down on friends and different households sharing passwords means I get it cheaper than I’m ok with that. Their implementation allows people to use their tablet / phone / setup box/ streaming device in multiple locations. Since the technology isn’t available to cater for people living and paying for multiple house holds the options are everyone pays extra or the very very few people that can afford it or an anomaly pay extra To be frank for the case of someone living 6 months here 6 months there They can sign-up and cancel cause it’s a month by month subscription

  You get it cheaper? How? We even have inflation caused by greed and greed only.

    Inflation is caused by the Covid fiscal policies and the money the government gave out to keep those financially impacted afloat but was also abused by many people
