Netflix subscriptions are up almost 6 million this quarter, suggesting we’re all just too exhausted to fight this stuff

    I don’t know how much clearer I can make this. We are talking about what is written and what is functionally happening. It’s like jaywalking. If you jaywalk, and someone said “jaywalking is illegal,” you would roll your eyes because literally everybody does it.

    All of these services say it’s one account per person (again, not a household). But none of them enforce it. So for the last 16 years Netflix has functionally not had that rule. I do not understand how you are confused by this concept. I feel like I’ve been pretty clear about it and it’s self evident. It is pointless to say “you’re not allowed to share accounts“ when it was rampant and Netflix did not care. We aren’t idiots, we know they are choosing to enforce it now. That’s literally what this entire discussion is about.

      So what do you think is the reason why people are mad at Netflix? Is it because Netflix didn’t stop some customers from not following the agreement earlier or is it because the customers can’t continue to not following the agreement?
