This. Exactly this.
What's the difference between 3 kids and a parent watching 4 streams in a single house, and 3 adult kids at college watching on their parent's 4-streams account?
It was one thing when the 'household' thing was a requirement by antiquated license agreements.
The ONLY reason my family still has Netflix is that it is partially subsidized by our family T-Mobile plan.
This is not going to go well for them, and they know it, which is why they are trialing it in non-US territories first.
When are large companies going to learn that there's an inflection point at which continuing to chase quarterly growth for shareholder expectations crosses over into a landmine field of short term optimizations at long term consequence?
