What is it that you think is appropriate for you to be pissed off about? You pay for Netflix for you and your household, not for anyone that happens to be related to you. Has that ever not been the case?
On the terms of services.
"4.2. The Netflix service and any content viewed through the service are for your personal and non-commercial use only and may not be shared with individuals beyond your household."
I don't agree with it, and I do pay for two simultaneous screens, but that's how it is.
Not that it greatly matters. I don't share my Netflix account with anybody.
At this point I'm paying 20 USD/m for Netflix, roommate for HBOMax, friend's password (via reciprocal sharing) for Disney+, and our online TV service, which my elderly disabled mother can't go without.
The post-cable/satellite TV revolution has tripled my costs from what it used to be.
But that's just it. A Netflix account isn't valid "for you and anyone you think it is". It's valid only for people in the same household. The thing they are cracking down on is people using the account in a way that they were never supposed to.
Huh. You must have had a really great deal on that nonspecific cable/satellite. Every time I’ve looked at TV packages since before streaming services even existed, it was $50/mo before various fees and at least $70 on the bill, just for basic cable.
Their stock is over $500 a share.
In 2020 Netflix has positive cashflow of $1.9 billion.
What are they pissed about ?
What is a "household", and why do you think OP's purchase is related to that concept?
