I'd argue it's not been worth it for a long time. Also raising prices may not be that bad but ~~limiting your access to only one IP adress~~ preventing password sharing definitely is a dick move.

Well, that' really depends if you like their content or not, right?

Also, they don't limit your access to one IP. You can download things on your tablet to watch later and you can stream from different locations when you travel. They really only complain if you stream from two completely different geographical locations at the same time.

Define "different geographical equations". Can you still share it with a friend? I thought they prevented that.

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, you define "limiting access to one IP". Because they don't do that. It's not the same as preventing password sharing. They can prevent sharing password without limiting IP addresses.

okay preventing password sharing is a dick move then

Why? Can you share a Windows licence? Is that also a dick move?

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You pay to be able to use your account on a certain amount of devices. It shouldn't matter where those devices are located.

A windows license is just for one device so your comparison doesn't work.

You pay for what the TOS says. Netflix's TOS say 'any number of devices in the same household. What you're complaining about is that they didn't enforce the rule from the beginning. You're basically complaining that Netflix offered you their service for lower prices for some time before enforcing the real price.

look if you don't believe it's a dick move that's fine, we can have different opinions
