I think the crackdown is on certain types of devices and in phases. The first devices locked out were my android/google TV devices. A few weeks later, my xbox was locked out. My android phone still works, but can't cast to the TV now. Apple TV and ipad still work. Need to try the PC.

I rolled back to stremio.io
These guys ever think the new customers just signed up for the free month and plan to drop the service at the end of the trial?
I dropped them but they kept billing me anyway. Finally got it cancelled last month (hopefully).
I honestly think that they were kind of right to go after password sharing. In the end, it is all about how expensive you want your service to be. It's up to the user decide if it is too expensive or not. Of course I cancelled, but hey, if most if the people were OK to pay more than good for Netflix
I don't get what's controversial about Netflix making sure their customers keep their promises.
The good thing about Netflix is that they don't lock you in for 12-24 months. So you're free to cancel whenever you want. Compare that to the agreement you have with your internet provider.
With that said, you who cancelled Netflix because of this change, what streaming service did you move to that didn't enforce on account per household?
I setup Jellyfin last night 😎
Then you're not in the target group for Netflix. (Neither am I since I never stopped using my Kodi setup).
Piracy was the only thing that brought us Spotify, Netflix and affordable games on PC.

Jesus if people can't even be bothered to simply stop paying for a subscription then we will be truly fucked when something happens that actually matters
This is why the reddit boycott was destined to never work
