Yes I’m upset because even Netflix’s exec Reed Hastings said some time ago that account-sharing is “a good thing”. They are well within their rights to change their policy from looking the other way to actually prevent password-sharing, and I as the customer I’m well within my rights to cancel my subscription when the company changes a policy.

except the company haven't changed their policy, which is stated in their terms; contract; conditions of carriage and small print inter alia, which has always been that: account sharing is not allowed.

now, they may have previously ignored breaches of this contract, but that didn't stop them being breaches. you are well within your rights to cancel your contract, all i point out is that it is unreasonable of you to be upset. this is business as usual, and to be expected, therefore a good thing.

lol, lmao, et cetera.
