Sounds like when Netflix reneged on family accounts.

I cancelled my account in protest, but their financials say they made money on the change (and thus all the execs are happy with it).

If it helps, it really seems like Netflix is only "making money" these days off of cutting programming and workers. It's not a sustainable way to grow and it will hit a wall soon.

Netflix supposedly added 24M, or 8%, subscribers in 2025.

They also cancelled 25M good shows and played 800% more ads in the same time
