I'm sorry, but you're wrong. We didn't fail. Netflix popularized a business model that most businesses would've cracked down on from the jump (password sharing) and then, once they controlled a sizable market of unique and desired IP, they did a rug pull. Blaming that on consumers is asinine. Everyone knew that the original practice was outside the norm and legally grey. And now your options are breaking the law or finally getting the subscription you probably would've been paying the whole time.
It's part of enshittification. By offering more to a consumer than they're used to from the jump, it builds a positive relationship, and then you undo the practice later to squeeze profit. Shaming the victims in the situation is a weird thing that a lot of people like to do.
True, businesses try to seize all the opportunity for themselves, which is why I think we should do the same. It's why I left Reddit for Lemmy, I didn't want to keep supporting a platform that wasn't respecting me.
Or the third option which is to cancel Netflix even short term. I wasn't password sharing, but when Netflix cracked down, we cancelled. We use the other services. I'm voting with my dollars.
