"...but I didn't bother to make my own account when I got booted from my parents' account. Because Netflix doesn't make enough good stuff to justify it anymore and they cancel everything too quickly."
So you actually don't care about Netflix enforcing the agreement since you don't care about Netflix.
I agree on Netflix not making much good stuff. A lot of the Netflix movies people are praising today would never have passed the pre production phase in the 90's or 00's. It just seems like there has been a general decline in quality the last 10 years and people had just gotten used to it and get happy for whatever is better than the latest upcoming remake/sequel.
I also agree about Apple producing quality. In my opinion they're the only streaming service that doesn't fill their catalogue with bullshit just to look bigger.
All other services not requiring one account per household is simply not true. Netflix is probably the only service actively stating that account sharing is okay. For example, Disney Plus terms states that you are not allowed to share your credentials to a 3rd party.
The reason that some services are more lenient on this issue is that they are still focusing on gaining market shares. Next phase is starting to focus on how to getting profitable.
Netflix might be the first one cracking down on this but they are definitively not the last one doing that.
If the streaming services don't make sure it's enforced the copyright holders will.
Why does that matter? Don't discount my opinion simply because I don't care enough about netflix's content to pay for it. Nothing I've said hinges on that.
Netflix said the same things in its terms for 16 years. Would you have said "netflix doesn't allow account sharing"? Because that's a pretty ridiculous claim when functionally they did and everyone else does. I currently only pay for HBO, yet I'm on Prime, Hulu, and Disney+. Terms or not, we know what the reality is. So let's not hide behind faux-legalese and arguments even you don't believe man.
They aren't lenient, they literally don't enforce it. And it's not just "some," it's all but Netflix and Apple* (as explained above). Because functionally it's allowed.
No doubt about it, but not sure its relevance.
This sounds highly speculative.
Edit: I'm also not sure you really answered the "one account per household" thing. You are very precious about the ToS (or "promise" as you call it) so I'm curious what you meant by this.
The reason I chose the word "promise" is because people often, especially in discussions regarding Netflix latest nice, tend to forget/ don't understand what it means when you sign an agreement.
I personally don't care if people get angry if Netflix hold them liable to the agreement they signed out if they get angry after getting a parking fine.
Regarding the ToS, do you mean that Netflix never made a change in the terms regarding sharing account before enforcing the new stuff or do you agree that the terms now regulate who you can and who you can't share your account with?
So what do you think is the reason why people are mad at Netflix? Is it because Netflix didn't stop some customers from not following the agreement earlier or is it because the customers can't continue to not following the agreement?
Dude I have explained it so many times. I'm done lol
