A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

"New signups" being the operative term here, not necessarily new paid subscriptions
It should be noted as well that Netflix has a weird hyper fixation on getting as many new signups as possible instead of user retention. That's a big reason why so many shows that seem so big get cancelled, they aren't bringing new sign ups in the eyes of Netflix, its their core business model. It's really weird and I personally think it's not a sustainable business model whatsoever, but I feel that it puts their password sharing policy into perspective better here.
Does that mean there is a free tier?
I’ve read they have a free tier withs ads. Apparently it makes more money peruser too…
