I don't understand why people are in such uproar over netflix pricing. $10 a month is an incredible price for what you get. There's not alot you can do for $10 these days. You can barely grab lunch in lots of places. And you're talking about a whole month where many people use it for hours every evening? Imagine Netflix was $1 or $2 to unlock for 24 hours. I think alot of people would consider that fair. Many would pay the same to tip to someone who took 30 seconds to serve them let alone a couple of hours of entertainment. But then that can easily escalate to $30-60 a month without batting an eyelid. If you barely watch Netflix at all, maybe less than 5 times a month, then $10 might seem excessive. But then are those people the ones putting in the effort for a Plex server? Presumably it's not worth the effort either.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My view is that there is less and less stuff on Netflix that interests me. Shows that I liked in the beginning usually turn into the typical American never ending twisting drag out. There are weeks where I don't use it at all. While 10$ is not much for some it can be a lot for others. E.g. youth unemployment and job security are big challenges in Spain from what I've heard. I'm not justifying the password sharing. I think it is wrong to assume that all users can be converted to paying customers.
