#1. Password sharing is going away, meaning you can't share outside of your household
#2. You have to log on every 31 days or be instantly blocked
#3. You can't travel with the damn thing because there's no guarantee it'll even work

LMAO

These all sound like great ideas where nothing unforeseen can possibly go wrong.

[chrom]

That'll work, said no one.

This is absolutely something that’s going to get shitted on and they’ll drop and try a new idea in June or something because I can already imagine the stories of actors working on Netflix projects not being able to watch Netflix because the shoots are too long. As an example .

Oh sorry honey we can't Netflix and Chill Ive been watching Martin on Crave for exactly 31 days and I'm prohibited by law

[xCompackx]

I can 1000% guarantee I don't give enough of a shit about Netflix to remember to login every 30 days.

You think you're banned for not logging in for a completely arbitrary time. But it's really because you were watching Martin.

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

Well I sure look forward to playing tech support with my parents when they call me about their Netflix not working.

Actually, my dad is far more likely to just cancel it if it doesn't just work.

[Rolent Tex]

Lol these morons have their panties in a bunch over password sharing but yet give millions to a man who’s fans brag about pirating all of his movies.

[mo]

Yeah, I’d much rather cancel than deal with all that bs

Wizards of the Coast: well nobody can possibly piss off their customers as bad as we have.

Netflix: hold my beer.

It always boggles my mind that these big companies reactions to falling subscriber numbers is to do things that piss off the remaining customers. Like cable companies react to less customers by making their cable fees higher.

Netflix and Bill

As Jim Sterling puts it, they don't want some money, or even a lot of money, they can't be happy unless they have all the money.

Already cancelled my sub last year, this certainly isnt making me think I want to come back.

I mean, is Netflix secretly being ran by Vince McMahon? Seems like a Vince thing to do.

NO MORE PASSWORD SHARING, GODDAMMIT!!
