Netflix Loses 1M Users in Spain over Password Policing

Yeah, it's not a matter of angry feelings, it's just a cost-benefit analysis

I'm guessing they aren't actually going to put this into action in the USA, but we'll see how it goes

I'd personally be fine with paying for 5 different streaming video services, but my wife is too frugal and makes me cancel one when I start another.. presumably a lot of people are in the same boat, and would look at this as a good opportunity to try out Disney+, HBO Max, etc

Just curious, what makes you think they won't do it here? I think they're 100% greedy enough to do it here.

And at that point, I'll cancel. I've already kind of accustomed my parents to it by reminding them that it takes them half an hour to find anything that they even want to watch on Netflix.

I just think they'll play around with it in smaller regions to see the effect and run a cost-benefit analysis before they risk angering their primary money maker
