It's like they are trying to irritate people into canceling their accounts.

Imo, this one might actually be worse than the account sharing and cause people to quit. As soon as you have people messing around with their subscription version, it's all too easy to just say "nah, I actually don't want this anymore".

It's been a while since I last has Netflix. I found myself looking through their selection with nothing enticing me to watch. I don't know how people keep it for years. Did you always find something you liked?

Lol yeah it wasn't the screen sharing thing that got me. When the news about that came up I realized I hadn't used Netflix for 6+ months. There's just nothing good in their library anymore

I felt the same way, then got a proper vpn and boom. It’s like having Netflix for the first time all over again!!
