      imo its more of a desperate idea to increase subscriber numbers, which were not growing fast enough to justify such a high stock valuation

      They stopped my Canadian elderly in-laws from using my account around the beginning of last year when everyone was stuck inside for the pandemic. We hardly EVER used it, and the only reason I had it at all was because the in-laws watched it from time to time.

      The second we realized they’d blocked them from using it, I went and cancelled the “premium” subscription I’d had for about 7 years.

      I don’t miss it at all. We can always download anything good that they put out anyway.
