    What they're really saying is that with plateauing growth and increased competition they need to find creative new ways to nickel and dime customers into paying more money for the same service if they're to keep the insatiable wall street maw well fed

    Netflix will ask customers in five Latin America countries to pay a fee if they want to use their account in an additional home, a test it hopes will curb password sharing and generate additional revenue https://www.bloomberg.com/...

    not only did Netflix spend a decade clearly stating password sharing was no big deal, they're already limiting the number of concurrent, active streams per account, AND they just imposed a major new price hike.

    As @KarlBode notes, Netflix users *already* pay for 1/2/4 concurrent streams. So now you aren't just paying for how many concurrent streams you make, but where they're coming from. Here comes the new cable, same as the old cable. https://twitter.com/...

    Netflix is now charging users for additional usage outside of your home for more than 2 weeks in five South American countries ($1.17 - $2.99). There's an exception for vacations, once per location per year. Ads and now this. Growth's definitely done. https://www.theverge.com/...

    Netflix is daring people to cancel with moves like this. My guess is a lot of them will. https://twitter.com/...

    “But today's widespread account sharing between households undermines our long term ability to invest in and improve our service.” Netflix sounds more like Comcast every day. https://www.theverge.com/...
