For products with a flat rate, the people who use it less are subsidizing it for people who use it more too. Would you say there is a problem with that?

I share my account with my dad, who does not live with me. He's been self-isolating for almost a full year and has redefined 'binge-watching' to a whole new level.

I rarely watch Netflix since it seems mostly series stretched across multiple episodes despite having a story that wouldn't justify a comic strip.

So, yes, I am subsidising him consuming stuff that Netflix would have to pay me to watch.
