Well, why would they ditch for piracy? Netflix was smart about the whole thing: adding an authorized household (not user, entire household) is cheaper than creating a new subscription. The people subscribing to Netflix aren’t fundamentally opposed to paying for streaming, they were opposed to an unfair change in the business model. Netflix countered with a seemingly fair change in the business model that now eliminates the hassles that come with password sharing and could make the marginal increase in cost per household fairly small. It was overall a pretty smart business decision.
There are many many problems with Netflix, including their growth-based business model, the lack of insight into their finances, and the way they’re slowly enshittifying the film industry. They’re a major reason for the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, this change wasn’t stupid and people weren’t stupid for going along with it. I don’t see how it would lead to an overall increase in piracy, that’s being driven by the many new streaming services forcing costs on consumers. But consumers won’t blame Netflix for that because, frankly, that’s not Netflix’s fault.
Not sure about the specifics but it might not be enforceable. Just because a company says something in their TOS doesn’t mean it’s true.
These reports are showing it’s not just a couple bad justices, it’s a systemic ethical failure.
It’s sort of like email. There’s enough commonality in form and function that different versions of the same thing can talk to each other but you can pick where you have your account.
Think about how well the SSA is funded and then consider where they might have cost cut. You’d be surprised how much contract IT eats into a budget.
Play to your audience, not your opponent. Occasionally they’re the same person.
I personally prefer just straight on the pan after a dry brine instead of reverse sear, but that’s probably because I prefer it cooked rare.
In other news, the mod of that sub seems like kind of a raging jackass.
There’s also people like me who are no longer active but didn’t nuke their accounts. It’d be pretty hard to track.
Look at what Texas did to HISD: took it over claiming “poor outcomes” despite it being one of the best districts in the state. I’m not sure how it works in Virginia but they may try something similar.
