I get upset about a lot of things, but the end of password sharing isn't one of them. Complaining about it is just about the most privileged, entitled thing I can imagine.

Using an advertised feature is "privileged and entitled"????

They literally charged extra for more simultaneous streams, and let you set up multiple profiles. Password sharing was an intended, advertised feature that people paid for.

Wanting what you were sold is not entitled or privileged. That's a baseline of transactions.

Ok, fine. But this is not what people are really complaining about and you know it. I am a cheap ass, I'll admit it. But I'm not that cheap.

Alright, I'll bite, what are people really complaining about?

[-] TheHighRoad@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

I think most are freeloaders mad that they finally have to pay. I expounded a bit more in another reply, but I appreciate Netflix for blazing the streaming trail, so I want to see them succeed. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, of course.
