It's like they are trying to irritate people into canceling their accounts.

Imo, this one might actually be worse than the account sharing and cause people to quit. As soon as you have people messing around with their subscription version, it's all too easy to just say "nah, I actually don't want this anymore".

I already dipped. By the time I cancelled I wasn't using the service enough to justify paying for it monthly, anyways.

Me, too. In my country, I'm paying the equivalent of 13€ for Disney, Amazon, HBO and SkyShowtime combined. And although Netflix has some good shows, it's nowhere near enough to rival all of these together - no way I'm paying 10€/mo. just for it. Guess I'll pirate the few I actually miss.

I just cancelled everything, no more subscriptions for me, except for the yearly re-up on usenet indexers

Yeah, imagine running a company, with customers that simply pay the monthly, because it is cheap enough to cancel. But then you start annoying the users and reduce convenience, then increase the price. What could possibly be the end goal here?
