Netflix password crackdown has actually caused a growth in Subscriptions

I feel like other streaming platforms will follow the same process as they've proven it's worked.

As a person in charge of shared Netflix subscription for my friends I noped out the moment they started password sharing crackdown. Yeah, they added "small" charge to add more users to subscription but the writing was on the wall and I realized I was the frog being boiled.
2 of my friends went for basic plan separately. The cost of 2 basic subscriptions is about the same as 4k / 4 screens one we were using before. So yeah, subscriber count up, now Netflix needs to do a rug pull on basic plan (which they already do in US and UK).
I don't even see a need to pirate stuff from Netflix these days, barely anything worth watching. I still pay for HBO, Disney+, Apple TV+ (part of family Apple One) and Prime - which in the country I live in cost together about they same as Netflix did lol.
How much is Netflix and how much is HBO? Where I am HBO is nearly as much as Netflix. I'm curious to see what differences there are elsewhere. For me, Prime is only cost effective comparatively because I qualify as a student currently.
