    Worse than that, since they killed the sharing off now a Netflix account isn’t your account, it’s an account you buy for one “household” location using one internet connection.

    If you try to sign in to netflix on hotel tvs it won’t let you, because that isn’t part of your “household.” If you have multiple internet connections in your house you can have that same issue inside your own home, because Netflix will decide the internet connection you use most is your “household” connection and the other one doesn’t count as being in your “household” even if it’s in the next room.

    If you travel a lot or have an atypical internet setup in your own house Netflix will deny you access and tell you to buy a subscription for that location.

      besides the sharing, netflix cancelling alot of shows after 1,2,3 seasons is enough not to subscribe to it, plus the enormous amounts of time between seasons.

        I’m not disagreeing with you, just wanted to mention that this is not necessary their fault. i got super mad when they cancelled a series i was watching more through. turned out that the owner of the show (i think Paramount) just cancelled all contracts to stream it exclusively on their platform.

        Back in my days, seasons would end for summer and you knew the cliffhanger would be resolved next season in the fall lineup
