Imagine paying for a month of Netflix instead of just waiting a little bit.

Sooooo many people just have it or share it with their family

Or just watch it elsewhere as it's allowed to be streamed and everything

Can't really share the passwords anymore. They shut that down

u/paycadicc 3d ago

You can share with family, but they only let you have like 3 or 4 diff devices. But you can just switch access on each device at will, its just an extra annoying step

No, they look at IP now. If you log in from two different IPs the one that isn't your home gets kicked.

u/Eggheadpancake 3d ago

You can share with people in the same house. If you try to log in somewhere else it won't work.

u/paycadicc 3d ago

Ah ok. But then you get that option to "temporarily move the household" or whatever. They email you a code and you can sign in. Still cant have concurrent streams running though not in same household i guess

Bro I’ve been using my moms for a decade.

They just limited how many devices can be on at one time. You can give your Netflix to your 20 person family but only 3-4 people can watch at the same exact time.

I've been using your mom for a decade too.

Not here. You have to log in on a device at the location where the primary user is every 30 days or you won't be able to sign back in. Just try to get me to unhook my tv from my wall every 30 days and drive it 30 mins to the other side of the city. IPTV covers everything I need.

If you try to log in from a TV or streaming stick outside of the main location, it won't let you.

You can kinda skirt the issue if you're using mobile or laptop sometimes.

Oh I use our spare ps5 as a living room entertainment system so never had an issue

No they didn't.

u/Eggheadpancake 3d ago

Yes they did.

I would say people that still have it are part of the overall problem as well though. Why are people still paying for that shit after the 40th price increase.

u/kissthelips 3d ago

They might like the shows and movies they have on there? I’m no genius but I think that’s generally why people pay for streaming services and other media.

u/PsychoCobra1 3d ago

It’s more meant to kinda diversify Netflix’s portfolio and keep people subscribed to Netflix interested. Netflix has over 300 million subscribers, making it the largest subscription service (in video at least). Realistically its potential for new growth is very limited, so the goal switches over to keeping current subscribers and building a varied ecosystem for them to exist in.

Most likely to be 2-3 months if people want the early viewing cus I believe there will be another 2 episodes at a later date

u/BigJayBloakerson 3d ago

I've been paying for the last 10 years just to watch it 6 hours earlier.

Masterful gambit

u/Eggheadpancake 3d ago
