This is literally exactly what people are complaining about. Myself included.

Most of the complaints sound like people upset that the gravy train has been halted and now they finally have to pay for the service instead of leaching off their parents or whatever. I'm not saying there are no legitimate concerns, but I believe the vast majority are what I've described, hence the jump in subs.

I want Netflix to do well. I've been a customer for literal decades and I applaud their innovations as the OG streaming platform. Hell, it's still the most user friendly and smoothest experience, IMO.
