The issue is that most people will just end at "well I guess I can't block ads anymore".

Yep. Just like everyone that was going to leave Netflix when they axed account sharing, but then just made their own accounts and went on with life. I'd see a similar thing playing out here for all but the more technical users who may start switching.

Hey, if it makes you feel any better, Netflix started blocking me from sharing an account with my parents, and we cancelled the account and didn't make any new ones.

Although, if they still had disc deliveries, my parents would probably have kept the account.
