I suspect you're right about this. This change has no effect on the people who aren't sharing their account, so those people have very little incentive to comment except perhaps out of sympathy for those who it will affect. So most of the uproar will understandably be negative, even if a majority of users do not share their account.
- bee_rider 3y agoI’m not sure. These services only have new good content like 50% of the time. So it makes more sense to cycle subscriptions on and off. This is harder if you’ve given someone your password (I’d definitely not be subscribed to Disney+ right now if my sibling wasn’t using it).
- joemi 3y agoI think we're in agreement. I said it doesn't affect people who aren't sharing their password, and you seem to be talking about cases where passwords are being shared.
- crimsontech 3y agoI suspect most people won’t even realise. I do share mine with my gran who I set up with a smart tv and Internet during Covid because she was stuck in the house on her own, and my daughter who was away at university. I feel like I’ve already watched anything worth watching and would have cancelled my subscription already if it wasn’t for my family still using it.
