It's a mystery! I'll never understand why the week after yet another price hike, I quit because of the price hike. I guess I just act randomly in response to price hikes.

My issue was cutting out the sharing. I was paying for 4 screens at a time. Why should they care which 4 screens are being used?

Once I realized a decent VPN was $5/month, that I could get TV shows without the 35% time addition of commercials, and stop worrying about what I get going away, the issue wasn't that Netflix was bad, it was just worse than the alternative.

edit: not that Netflix has commercials, but the fact one could get anything without them as well (like paying for cable...)

There's a tier with commercials for many countries now.
