Netflix will implement the change in Canada and the U.K. in the second quarter of the year before "taking it from there," the letter said.

The company did not specify when (or whether) the change would impact U.S. subscribers.

And now Prime is doing the same, and Disney wants to tackle password sharing. If everyone had just cancelled Netflix when they started this shit we’d be paying $5 per month and we’d be sharing passwords on all of our streaming services.

People are not that smart. Can't work collectively which is great for capitalism.

Example: 9-5s collectively are way too important for economy , without them economy would not function but individually they are not important and easily replaceable. Hence they teach you not to discuss salary, create hierarchy, fancy job titles etc.

We really need like a consumers union type organization. I know it would require work, but I guarantee if millions of people got the "Hey just don't have Netflix for a couple months and we'll get what we want" memo, then millions of people would have stuck together

I canceled my Prime subscription when they announced they were going to put ads in prime video. I don't even use Prime Video. It's the principle.

And Netflix would still be unprofitable
