    This is Complete Lie to keep board members happy and bump the stock price. They would have lost ton of subscribers.
    I embrace this move from Netflix by downloading torrent client after all these years which will run like butter on my powerful pc.
    Ahh.. end of the frustrating times just scrolling on menu thinking what to watch, and welcome to those beautiful days of waiting on download to complete to watch the movie or TV series I actually want to watch..😄😄

        Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free / You are a pirate! / Yar har, fiddle de dee / Being a pirate is alright to be

          Increasing prices, pulling back some basic options and 6,000,000 more subscribes? Yeah that's a big lie.

              bunyip22, 21 Jul 2023Not sure why people are sooking about this. You can still s... moreHere's the problem. We collectively failed to nip greed like this in the bud and now every other company is going to copy this behavior.

                No no no no no NO NO NO NO NO! You stupid people voted with your wallets and now every other streaming platform and SaaS company is going to follow suit.

                Seriously, this news is equivalent to inflation suddenly increasing by 5% without any corresponding wage increase.

                  people still use netflex?

                    Im guessing those Increase numbers are Parasite users that click continue / account sharing then the Owner later realize he's paying a lot than before.

                    Once Owner realize it and stop it, the downward subscribers will happen 😅

                      And how many have they lost because of this?

                        Not sure why people are sooking about this. You can still share with your household, you just can't share with every man and his dog. Monthly subscriptions aren't expensive. If you don't like it, go to a cheaper service, those with ads or go through the hassle of pirating.

                          Screw accounts, someone need to force netflix to stop doing movies as 99% of what they do is not even worth throwing to a bin...

                            Don't know if it was such a great idea to ban account sharing. Would have been enough to limit number of parallel streaming.I also share my account with my brother. I don't use Netflix that much and for the last 2-3 years I mainly watch Animes on Netflix. Also got a crunchy roll subscription and Amazon Prime subscription. If account sharing would be banned there would be no point for me to pay for netflix any longer. Especially if you consider how bad their content (netlix production) got Lately.

                              oh boi they claimed their growth subscribers, but in reality they losing more than 50 million users

                                What annoys me the most is that I can't cancel mine thanks to my dad ...

                                  Real question is, How manu subscribers did they lost ?

                                    Finally they made me to realize that I was eating money on Netflix.. Though it is sharing among 4 for premium subscription that itself a waste as the streaming platform not having better content for south India. May be 2 or 3 series in a year and movies which not done well in cinemas but hyped to much.. Thanks Netflix and their leaders.

                                      Suits me. Thanks for funding my pirated stuff midwlts 👍

                                        I consider never using Netflix a flex 😜
