> The fact that people think it's somehow their right to use stuff for free, that others had to put in work for, is mindblowing for me.
People aren't pissed because they can't "use stuff for free" anymore. You can already pirate every show that's on netflix. People are upset because they were sold one thing, and now will not be getting what they paid for. I paid for x number of simultaneous devices/streams. I paid for a service which told me sharing passwords was perfectly fine. That's what I signed up for.
Now netflix changes the rules, which after multiple price increases, a library that has declined in quantity and quality, and an interface that is still terrible and increasingly stuffed with ads there is nothing mindblowing about the hate they're getting. They absolutely deserve to lose customers.
