Netflix reported substantial growth in subscribers in the months following its push to stop users from sharing accounts with people outside of their household.

    I would argue that your average person was probably already paying for Netflix if there was something there they wanted. The password sharing clique is a specific breed of leecher that is 100% at home with using a VPN and a torrent server.

    I could always be wrong, but that’s my suspicion. It will be fun to watch, either way.

      I don’t know, a lot of people I know (mid 20s) had been using their family’s shared Netflix which are now getting their own accounts each due to this new rule. Could be anecdotal.
