That sounds like a copy of regulations that other less dumb countries have been introducing but I'm sure they'll be completely watered down before the final version and then immediately found unconstitutional

I'm itching to see their Q2 subscriber numbers. This is hellworld so all the paypigs all dutifully got their own accounts I'm sure, but perhaps maybe the "cancel every show, raise the price, and turn off sharing" strategy actually pissed enough people off.

there was something posted a little while back, supposedly they've been having record signups. i find it hard to believe all of those people have no problem with ads on a service that was ad-free from its inception but people are very stupid and seem to spend money on all sorts of crap i can't wrap my head around

you'd expect a big spike in signups after they clamped down on account sharing; their total viewer hours probably went down. in an ad-free model this is a pure win: higher profit, lower operating costs. in an ad-supported model it might be worse

yeah netflix with or without ads is expensive and doesn't really have much new compelling content i can absolutely see there being a spike in signups, especially if there's a free trial. i wonder how many of those are paying customers. since you can stop paying and "deactivate" the account (but keep it active) i bet they're still counting those as retained

i recently canceled my netflix subscription because i stopped watching as much tv. my wife's cousin recently visited and they somehow re-subscribed to netflix on my account using the firestick in the basement. i've been owned by tech. i canceled it again of course. also lol netflix won't let me delete the card on file, so i just changed the cvv code hopefully this won't happen to me again

it's too late for them to do anything about crap like leveraged buyouts and the accumulation of everything under private equity groups and they just got their rear end kicked on the most transparently anticompetitive acquisition deal of the last decade

They probably don't have a legal basis to block leveraged buyouts and expecting the us to pass new laws to stop bad things is highly unrealistic

Was just at a hospital for a scheduled visit, and found their parking garage removed the ticket dispensers and credit card machines and replaced it with an app. There were signs everywhere telling you to scan the QR code, associate your license place to your phone number, add a payment method, etc etc. I started going through the process but I got to the point where I had to agree to binding arbitration (again, to park at a hospital) and gave up. I asked how to pay if you didn't have a phone and they directed me to some people in the little room where the (presumably laid off) cashier used to be. It was clearly people from the app company walking people through how to bring up the QR code that gets you out. I explained, they looked at me like I was a loon for not just tapping next next finish and ran my card through an ipad. Are they going to be there next time? Is there really no alternative way to pay? You must own a smartphone and send your data to some company in order to PARK AT A HOSPITAL? What the gently caress is wrong with people? edit: these are the rentseekers: https://www.metropolis.io/

they have apps for water fountains, elevators, and restrooms, why wouldn't they have an app for parking at a hospital? what are you going to do, not park?
