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".

To be fair, it does look like they're letting the old basic plans stay on, so some of this seems to be about preventing people from subscribing on and off for one month? It's still a bonehead move amidst a series of bonehead moves.

    Yeah but the old basic plans restrict video quality to HD. It used to go 720p > 1080p > 4K for quality. Idk if it's still the same as I haven't looked at the plans, but I assume you still only get HD unless you pick the highest tier.
