Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdown::Netflix subscriptions are up almost 6 million this quarter, suggesting we're all just too exhausted to fight this stuff

Personally, the value proposition for Netflix is really lacking compared to Amazon Prime (which also comes with prime video and Amazon music) and Apple One family (which also comes with Apple Music, extra iCloud storage, Apple TV and Apple Arcade) which I have so it was pretty easy to cancel my Netflix subscription.

If I could bundle Netflix with something else it might make it worth it but comparatively the content on Apple TV is so much better than anything Netflix have at the moment, in my opinion (really enjoying Silo atm but have loved Ted Lasso, Severance, The After Party amongst others).

Fucking big tech! Break them nowww pleassseeeee

I cancelled my subscription even before the password sharing crackdown. I was tired of the price constantly increasing. Besides that I needed to eliminate some subs since the combined costs were approaching that of cable TV.

Good to see I am not one of them, I cut off Netflix after the news and went to the competition which are cheaper and have better production.

Not exhausted at all

There is no way. Netflix is saying that so people are like "Well, I guess im the minority, I will just keep the subcription"

Shit I left a day after they made the announcement because I was already sick of all their other shit, and I don’t even password share.

I don't really get the "fighting" part. Don't like it, don't buy it.

The only reason I have Netflix is because I don’t pay for it. I get it free with Tmobile. I wonder how much of these are from TMO new users instead of organic subscriptions

god damn cowards

I canceled my sub aftear being subbed for many many years.

🤷‍♂️ we canceled our Netflix account, so that's about all we can do

[–] docmox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

When we couldn’t share a family password anymore we just didn’t sign up for our own account. Easy as that. Been watching a ton more Hulu as a result. Netflix isn’t worth more than a one-month sub/year.

I would've left if I actually paid for it. Currently getting it for free thanks to T-Mobile.
