A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

I just canceled a week ago.

Please note that some of us are in family plans and it just took that long to convince everyone to drop Netflix.

Sometimes it’s less of a burst and more of a slow burn.

Anecdotal evidence is not evidence.

Comments like yours was exactly what I was reading when everyone was losing their minds the first time around.

LOL can't believe you got downvoted for talking about things you saw with your eyes. I saw those same things.

Yes, and I never claimed it’s the same as proper stats, just wanted to point out the outrage didn’t mean everyone canceled right away.

The ironic thing is that Netflix didn't have family plans.

They allow for multiple user profiles in one account and multiple concurrent streams. A family plan by any other name.

When I think of a family plan I think of multiple people having a subscription with a discounted group rate, like with a cell phone carrier. What you describe is no different than a PlayStation having multiple profiles.
