Of course they will. As much as people claimed they were going to cancel their Netflix subscriptions, their active users went way up. So now the whole industry will follow because it's profitable. Remember that the only vote you have as a consumer is with your wallet.

I canceled my Netflix. I'm sure more people will cancel Netflix if they don't have more stuff to watch. That's actually why I canceled. I couldn't find anything new I wanted to watch. Now that every company has its own streaming service Netflix has lost a lot of content and is struggling to replace it. My cancellation had nothing to do with password sharing. I live alone, no kids, no people to share passwords with. I won't replace it with a subscription to something else, either. I don't see the value in having to subscribe to something just to watch one or two things that interest me.
Reasonably priced and good content streaming is why I stopped downloading everything I wanted from newsgroups. That's going away so guess I need to get back to downloading.
