well done everyone

Not me. When me and hubby couldn’t watch different shows at the same time in the same house a room apart, I cancelled the account and never looked back. They’ll never get my money again.

Voting with your wallet doesn't work when there are so many other wallets out there that don't care.

I closed my family shared account and started pirating Netflix shows/movies instead.

We paid for the convenience. I will happily just pirate if that's what they want 🤷

I just made my own personal Netflix, with blackjack and hookers.

Turns out lemmy users aren't representative of the greater public.

Of course the person using a shared password either left (saving Netflix money) or got their own subscription (giving Netflix money).

Netflix doesn't care that people who weren't paying stopped using their service.

Why are people so dumb… They treat us bad? Let’s throw more money on them.

Netflix says a lot of things, some aren't true

The American people are so hopelessly broken, it's shameful.

I've found sailing the high seas to be far more convenient than using Netflix nowadays. I can watch what I want to watch when I want, instead of finding out a movie I wanted to watch was removed recently

They haven't had anything interesting to watch since Squid Game. This Black Mirror season had like one good episode.

But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?

I don't really get the "fighting" part. Don't like it, don't buy it.

Personally, the value proposition for Netflix is really lacking compared to Amazon Prime (which also comes with prime video and Amazon music) and Apple One family (which also comes with Apple Music, extra iCloud storage, Apple TV and Apple Arcade) which I have so it was pretty easy to cancel my Netflix subscription.

If I could bundle Netflix with something else it might make it worth it but comparatively the content on Apple TV is so much better than anything Netflix have at the moment, in my opinion (really enjoying Silo atm but have loved Ted Lasso, Severance, The After Party amongst others).

I haven't because Netflix hasn't given me a good solid reason to return to them.

I wouldn't exactly say everyone is too tired to fight this stuff. Because, a bubble has yet to burst somewhere if it hasn't already. Netflix just fails to see the bigger picture of this problem and once that bubble bursts, the bubble of financial strains on society, they'll feel it tenfold.

There is no way. Netflix is saying that so people are like "Well, I guess im the minority, I will just keep the subcription"

Well that’s depressing

Stories like this are weird. As are the reactions.

It's a nominal cost for a lot of content. Some people lost access to it because they were sharing accounts, and millions who did decided that it was worth the $12 or whatever to get their own account.

And?

I really wanted to cancel my subscription. I consider piracy to be a moral option against the aggressively repressive sonny bono copyright law. But I can't pull the rug out from my mom's feet back home (I live in another state). So instead of getting to cancel in protest like how I want, I still just pay for one Netflix subscription that I don't use personally.

Morons. Stop paying more for less services.

Netflix is like that kid you knew in elementary school who always told lies. Saying stuff like "Yeah, my dad is a billionaire with a rocket car and he invented toothpaste!"

Why are we believing anything that Netflix has to say? They are most likely using some obscure way to calculate that number in order to try to retain the customers they have left.

From all the social media posts, I'm pretty sure they lost a good chunk of customers. Don't let them win with their slowly deteriorating content and rising prices. Instead, sail the high seas like the internet of old time!

I rolled... Of of my inlaws Netflix account and directly into the welcoming arms of piracy. I've always ridden the high seas as needed, but now I raise the black flag with pride since the only streaming I pay for now is music (music piracy is just as easy as normal piracy, but it's a lot more annoying to manage if you like to listen to a variety of stuff)

I still share my password with a few other households and we've experienced no service interruption at all. if they catch me, I'll just cancel my account then resub to binge anything that looks interesting. plenty of free streaming sites I can scroll through while complaining that there's nothing good on, I don't need to pay for the privilege.

Crackdown of what? I can still use multiple devices in different households at the same time, albeit I had to upgrade to 4 screens because my parents and my gf could use it. Maybe this measure has not been applied the same everywhere

When we couldn’t share a family password anymore we just didn’t sign up for our own account. Easy as that. Been watching a ton more Hulu as a result. Netflix isn’t worth more than a one-month sub/year.

The only reason I have Netflix is because I don’t pay for it. I get it free with Tmobile. I wonder how much of these are from TMO new users instead of organic subscriptions

I once refused to buy an iPhone because of Apple’s closed ecosystem and legal battles with competitors. And, well…

I mean, it only affected our smart TV. Everything else, including the laptop, my phone, and my tablet, can still use my parent's Netflix account just fine.

So yeah, I guess I just literally rolled over to another device and used that instead.

I mean if my family is any statistic to go on, 2/3 kids (me one of them) swore off Netflix since. The other, bought their own subscription as soon as the code stopped working

I didn't. Of course, most people probably didn't.
