      It costs less to add a household than it does to have two subscriptions. Netflix was at least somewhat smart about it.

      Cable cost hundreds and still had ads, people won’t give a fuck over 20$ if that means relative ease of watching season 57 of Big Mouth

        The only people down voting this are people who haven’t been on cable in years and have no idea how bad it is.

      It was always going to work, it’s kind of weird everyone expected it to backfire. There was never going to be a mass boycott because normal people don’t see “you have to pay for it to use it” as particularly unreasonable.

      Say I shared my account with 4 other people. Even if all 4 decide not to sign up, Netflix don’t lose anything and they save 80% of their server costs. They only lose money if I quit as well, and why would I when I’m getting the same service for the same price.
