I already unsubscribed and start sailing when the account share thing happened, but people are willing to take anything these days... so good for netflix I suppose.

101 businessman logic: slowly stretch it until numbers go down, and then back down a bit, just to keep trying stretching it further in a later time. Repeat.

infinite growth guaranteed.

This is why at this point I don't trust any subscription type thing, they are all destined to end up in that cycle, which, good for them, I think it'll have to explode eventually, or not, who cares, I'm already out anyway
