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

You’re not paying for that though. The terms of service have never allowed giving other people your details and letting people outside your household use your account.
Also you can still use 4 devices no matter where you are - mobile devices and tablets and laptops are not IP restricted.
Netflix started out encouraging password sharing, even promoted it on Twitter back in the days.
Yeh, when they allowed it. They changed their terms of service.
So clearly some people did pay for that and it was changed at a later date…
Companies are allowed to change their terms of service.
People are allowed to be pissed off when they do.
Absolutely they are. Didn't say they can't be.
What they can't do however is think that they're entitled to use the service in ways that are against the terms of service.
Whirlybird: Why do people think they're entitled to use a private company's service nude-free while still paying? It's in the ToS!
Whirlybird: unsubscribe if the terms of service are not to your liking
rikonium: no I demand the other terms of service! Netflix is a human right!
Mobile devices are restricted by being forced to connect to your 'home' network regularly.
And that’s fine because it’s not stopping you from using your 4 devices.
About a month ago we could not use the account on a smart TV in the rental home because it was away from the home network. Updating the home network wasn't an option because the family members not on the trip were still watching things at home.
Being able to watch on a phone, but not on a TV, is stupid.
