From what I heard, the netflix password sharing change ended up being a net-increase in subscribers even accounting for the exodus caused by it.

So while they were going downhill for a while I think their password sharing crackdown surprisingly benefited them.

I think that's a tricky one; I technically still have an active account despite canceling. I feel like the fall-off will happen on people's next billing cycles

oh absolutely. how many people got blindsided by the crackdown and setup their free trial to binge the last of their shows fully planing to cancel before they get billed? They count as new subs.

I'm honestly finally looking at getting a NAS and going back to ~~physical media~~ the high seas
