    They’ll probably pin it on the actors and writers when we all know it’s because they lost subscribers to their no password sharing policy.

      they lost subscribers to their no password sharing policy.

      In what world? They gained subscribers when they did that lol.

      Their content sucks, and people are starting to cut ties, but don’t pretend it’s because people were upset they couldn’t share their accounts.

        They lost subscribers and gained subscribers. The net total may have increased but they absolutely lost people from doing that.

          Okay. You could say that if three people left and 8 million could have signed up. It’d be factually true. So?

          The comment I replied to was claiming the price hike is because they lost subs because of the password changes. That implies the loss was big enough to reduce their income to the point they needed more. It’s not.

            I agree with you there. There could be negative repercussions involving the subscribers they did lose in the form of bad PR.

      Whenever businesses try to ‘pin’ raising prices of an already profitable product on anything, we know the real justification is this:

      “We know people are going to pay it and it will make us more money. That’s why we do it. We’re just saying it’s something else for the useful idiots who think businesses are their friends.”

      They actually got more subs (in most countries), its just that theyre bloating up, and compeition is happening which atm is making for a better or worse depending on how you look at it, situation for the consumer.
