Netflix Loses 1M Users in Spain over Password Policing

This is quite hard to achieve with original comment getting the spotlight and being a differentiator between services. For "the rest" of the content, I think the situation is pretty much close to streaming services with music.

A solution could be time-based exclusives.

Stranger Things is on Netflix only for X days (a month?) and then it's everywhere.

The hype train will still give Netflix its edge, because a lot of people want to watch in the first few days after release.

And it completely devalues the content and their catalog.

Agreed, but I think it only works to a point. Content is becoming more commoditized/more generic (maximise margins/cash in on some big trend). This, coupled with way too many new services claiming exclusive originals and people are deciding to not even bother watching it or just to sail the high seas. It's much like at one point the music streaming services had exclusives too. Sorry Spotify I'd rather just not bother listening to Rammstein than have yet another subscription.
