I had a feeling they would but I did leave myself. Only problem is the person I was sharing with made an account so it was a net 0 impact.

    I get the feeling that the kind of person that is on Lemmy is the kind of person that ain't gonna take no shit and drop it just to stick to the man. I myself dropped Netflix but seems to be a common theme here.

    The kind of person on lemmy is probably already self hosting a plex server that has all the content they care about and sharing it with their inner circle

    I dropped them shortly after 4k hit $20 a month. They don't have shit thats worth that.

    Honestly I mostly stopped using it a couple years ago. Only when I was bored and was surfing for something to watch. The main reason I had it was for my retired inlaws, so after I cancelled I ended up setting them up with their own account though at a lower rate. So I still consider it a loss for them.

    I know the feeling. I hate Netflix with a passion but my SO uses it. I have a Plex server full of stuff and constantly adding and showed her how. I cancel Netflix every month though 😂 can usually make it a day or 2 passed when it was supposed to renew before she uses it again and resubscribes.
