Already cancelled and taken to the high seas. VPN is much cheaper.
Honestly the battle to work out which streaming service has which show/film is getting boring.
Customers crack down as they begin Netflix purge in the UK
Apollo Tv Group. Look into it, been using it for a while now
Not defending Netflix here but I seriously doubt this will have the impact Reddit thinks it will. More people will be bothered they can’t access it anymore and subsequently sign up separately. It’ll have the desired effect as it’s proven to have elsewhere this has been implemented.
I signed off from Netflix a while ago but purely due to their attitude of mucking around with their shows and cancelling early, for example.
I stopped paying years ago when I found out I can get a pirate service with all the content combined from netflix, Disney plus and etc as well as Blu-ray rips
Cant even watch it in school anymore. It’s a fucking joke, if we didn’t need it for my grandad it would be gone
“Average daily signups to Netflix reached 73,000, a 102% increase from the prior 60-day average, which surpassed the spike in sign-ups during the initial lockdowns of the pandemic”
How dare they stop people exploiting a loophole to get a free ride. Bastards

It started to kick in weeks ago, cancelled as soon as it hit as we were barely watching and only keeping for our son / GF who were still using it after moving out to their own place. They’ve not subbed making it a “must have” subscription.
I’ve purged my TV of Netflix. 2 can play that game you money grabbing cunts!
We share with the mother in law, so have set her up on our account, as her watching one show every month or so isn’t worth her paying £5 out of her meagre pension.
We’re probably going to cancel soon though, as £20 a month is fucking ridiculous.
I pay $8 a month for access to a Plex server and I haven’t looked back. I can request shows and movies if they’re not on there but nearly everything I can think of is already there. Pretty happy with it.
I liked being able to watch Netflix at both my place and my S/O’s house but according to Netflix that makes me a bad person, and I don’t see why I should pay an extra 50% to use their service in more than 1 address, with no additional benefit to me as a consumer.
I thought the temporary access code system was a way to stop being affected by this, but turns out it only lasts a week and you’re limited to 2 per month – not that it matters, because I used 1 and when I tried to claim the second they said I’d used my allowance up – I’ll guess I’ll take my money elsewhere.
I’m very surprised that this tactic saw them get more sign-ups in the US, I thought this would have bit them in the arse hard.
This happened about a month ago here in Australia. We just shrugged and stopped watching Netflix. And weeks later we don’t miss it. I’ve asked around and a lot of friends said the same thing.
It’s been rolling this out for a while – had to finally get an account for myself and my family last month after having leeched off my dad’s for the last several years
It sucks – but Netflix was bound to eventually do this purely from a greedy corporate perspective . I’m just holding out hope that we have a few years left for Disney and Amazon at least .
I think they’re hinging on people being too lazy to cancel Netflix.
Their content was getting worse anyway. It won’t be missed and I hope they regret this decision.
Don’t even think Netflix is that expensive, and who is canceling it because they can no longer share accounts, are people actually splitting the cost?
Streaming was in a good place a few years ago.
You could have one, maybe two services and it would be more than enough to occupy you.
Now you need 4, 5 different services to access a reasonable quantity of new show releases, which are obviously more likely to be staggered releases to keep you subscribed.
Netflix for £10 was great when it was better than a £40 sky subscription.
I have two internet connections at the same property with my devices split between two separate buildings. Providing this is the same scheme they announced a few months back (where devices are “tied” to a single router/Public IP/MAC Address, and that’s how they define “household”), it’s pretty much impossible for me to comply.
There are always ways to circumvent using official services, most of which are easy and use things that are otherwise legal.
Why does it always seem that the people at the top of the company to be total eejits.

And it will work, [just as in the States.](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/9/23755156/netflix-subscriber-increase-paid-password-sharing-crackdown)
