The household license is dumb and customers are reacting to such dumbness by canceling and shutting down the company.

Any proof at all that customers are reacting this way? HN and Reddit being edgy doesn’t count

I mean me personally I won’t pay as much anymore when they enforce it, I pay it for my parents that live in another state and I only watch their large tent pole shows a couple times a year.

Rather than paying for the whole year I’ll pay for a month or two like I do with paramount+ and Disney+.

I’m sure they did some financial calculus to see what’s better but it’s not like other companies haven’t made terrible decisions in the past killing their business. I’m sure blockbuster had bean counters justifying their choices too.

Customers aren't reacting because it hasn't happened yet outside of a few tiny test countries.

Excluding no longer being able to do business in Russia for sanctions purposes, Netflix gained subscribers rather than losing them last quarter.

I doubt they’ll be shutting down.

How does that work really though?

4 streams simultaneously could all be from different locations, even different countries and still be a household subscription.

One watches at work, another family member is on holidays abroad, the other watches at home and the other via mobile Internet on a train. Should this considered password sharing?
