This is all just a prelude - the strike(s) will sort this all out. Netflix will have to put out real viewership numbers so there is transparency on what content creators are due.
Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what I am trying to say but you wont say it because you do not want to be seen as being a hypocrite.I believe Apple are making the Visio Pro primarily to make more money; it’s a new market that Apple are hoping contains a lot of money and growth. If there’s a side benefit that improves someone’s life or make something easier for someone, that is a side-benefit, not the primary purpose.
For example, if by adding new accessibility features Apple attracts more consumers to buy their devices and thus make more money, you can bet they will. Apple wins by making more money, the consumers who need those additional accessibility options win by having them.
If making iMessage cross-platform would attract more consumers to buy their devices and thus make Apple more money, you can bet that they will. If by making iMessage cross-platform it would discourage people from switching to an Apple device and thus not them more money, you can bet that they will not do it.
Beyond that I have no idea what you are trying to say.
I have absolutely no idea what you are on about now.Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what I am trying to say but you wont say it because you do not want to be seen as being a hypocrite.
But MacRumor posters said they would go out of business!
Lying to SEC? Never ever.You realize this was in the earnings report right? Lying about something like this would have serious repercussions with the SEC.
As for me, I am one of those in the numbers. I set my friend up with one of the cheaper accounts and spun off his profile.
yeah i did pay prime for few shows as well. I don't use Amazon for shopping FYI1. It’s really weird how much you’re rooting for Netflix but I hope you get picked or whatever.
2. Why did you share a random other users post screenshot like you’re quoting the person you’re responding to? They didn’t write that.
Were you really paying for prime just for the tv shows?
Apple includes the cost of iCloud storage in the breakdown of how much the iPhone costs and what they consider to be “profit” from each sale. So no, it isn’t “free.” We are literally paying them for it.
Good for you, do you want a cookie or a pat on the back? $19 a month is a lot of money for some people. They might be willing to pay $9/month, but not $19, because they may value an actual treat such as a good meal at a restaurant more. If they have to decide between the two, they'd go with the second. Here's the secret: you're not using even a fraction of that 'huge amount of content'. Yet, you're paying for it.It's $19 a month people. I spend twice that much on a rib dinner and beer twice a week. It's kinda amazing how people consider $19 for a good meal at a restaurant is fine, but then raise hell over paying that much for a huge amount of content over the course of a month.

We just cancelled a bunch of streaming subscriptions. True, each of them may have been less than $10, but it adds up quickly, and we had to cut our expenses because... inflation. If the Netflix crackdown reaches us (sharing a multiple screen subscription with parents who live one town over, including dad who travels a lot for work), I can guarantee you Netflix will not gain two new subscribers, because the parents just aren't using it that much; they can think of a million better use cases for those $10-$20.
The idea that "household" is tied to a specific physical location is extremely outdated.
Well If product is affordable at 9 but not 19 is probably a customer that is not worth capturing. People blow 6 dollars a day on coffee beans with water at Starbucks, those will end up signing up once the password sharing is over. because 19 dollars a month is like a little over 3 cups of coffee cost.
Companies become successful by offering goods that people find valuable. Yeah, cronyism exists and shady stuff happens, but in general a company can only stay afloat if people find it worthwhile, expressed by giving their money to the business. It’s about mutual benefit. It’s literally what socialists claim to want: people being forced to do things for others. I can’t make a living if I don’t prove to others that my efforts will benefit them.I believe the systems and processes in place that afford these companies the opportunity to be that successful should be sharing more of their success with the wider public. Sharing the success more broadly with just the employees would be a good start, but I think the benefits should be seen by the wider population.
It works with something called “meshnet”And what might those "easy ways" be?
I haven't tried, but according to Netflix, VPN doesn't work because your account is tied to your physical address.
For those of us who live in metro areas where rent is $2400 a month on average for a 1br apartment an hour away from work, who make all our own meals & coffee, and have no streaming services so we can afford to eat, the $6 coffee metaphor is completely irrelevant. I'd consider paying Netflix $8.99 a month but i'm not paying them almost $20. That's food for a few days.Well If product is affordable at 9 but not 19 is probably a customer that is not worth capturing.

If you have a decent router you just use a VPN to route traffic through your house. It's pretty easy and built into a number of consumer/prosumer routers. I do this for some other things but we just decided to cancel it all together. I prefer other services and not worth playing games with Netflix for the number of screens for 4k and price increases. It is just going to get worse as they try to squeeze more money out of people. At some point it is just not worth it.And what might those "easy ways" be?

Maybe so, but why does that matter?So 100M were sharing, and 6M signed up after the crackdown. So isn't the news that Netflix lost 94M watchers?
No because bandwidth costs aren't free. Sure Netflix has some very clever technology to get the content as close to the end user as possible, but those development costs aren't free either.So 100M were sharing, and 6M signed up after the crackdown. So isn't the news that Netflix lost 94M watchers?
That's fine. In that case you're probably better off using one of the many fine free services (Tubi, Freevee, Pluto, Roku Channel, Plex, Crackle, ...)For those of us who live in metro areas where rent is $2400 a month on average for a 1br apartment an hour away from work, who make all our own meals & coffee, and have no streaming services so we can afford to eat, the $6 coffee metaphor is completely irrelevant.

I would argue that I got the same amount of enjoyment (if not more) from the seven TV channels we had growing up as I do with the over 105 channels I get with DirectTV Stream. And this was free TV vs a paid subscription. PlutoTV rocks though, no arguing that.That's fine. In that case you're probably better off using one of the many fine free services (Tubi, Freevee, Pluto, Roku Channel, Plex, Crackle, ...)
That doesn't change the analysis of what's optimal for Netflix on their side.
Isn't it great to live in a world where we have so much quality and choice, even on the completely free side?
Same my hangers on can still watch for free. I don’t care anyway they can pay for their own, considering that I pay for all the streaming services for my brother and sister in law.They still haven't enforced it with my account... wondering if they are counting all the pre-emptive gainers before actually cracking down to make things look better than they might really be...
What is a "split immediate" family? I'm being sincere here, I've never heard of this before.This policy hurts split immediate families that live across two houses. In my case all except one would be the same viewers in either house. But they want us to pay double.
I agree extended family and friends sharing is taking advantage.
Add this to the list of things in life that aren’t fair. Seems like pay the $7.99 or somehow figure out a way around this.This policy hurts split immediate families that live across two houses. In my case all except one would be the same viewers in either house. But they want us to pay double.
