But the reality is that Netflix’s decision has turned into a good business decision. People who lost access to a shared account have created one. Something like 6M new accounts.

Time will tell. Wait 12 months then let’s see the membership and profits reported.

As with the market, enough people don't know or care to vote with our wallets, pricing for near everything will only ever get worse which is why others will have to turn back to piracy.
