He's the first person I blocked. Felt good, now I'm blocking a whole bunch of other people. Cleans the feed(s) quite alot.

My bet is liquidity is nonexistent. They are paying AWS with Amazon Advertising revenue: Amazon withholds ad payments for paying their AWS bills.
Would've expected the Xth richest person on earth to afford a bit of cloud services, especially after he bragged that he's simplifying the infrastructure, reduces infra costs.
As Netflix tested these changes in other parts of the world first, they had sufficient metrics to know how this change will affect their user-base. They are expecting an increase in subs and in income.
I cancelled my sub (4 screens), which was shared among 5 people. Two of these decided to resubscribe by themselves, although not in the 4 screens configuration. From my calculations this means:
- Cancellation of a 18EUR subscription
- 2 new customers on Standard, 13EUR each
- Netflix took a profit of 6EUR from this operation, while gaining an extra subscription.
I think this matches their "100% increase in subs" metric. The only question is how many others who resubscribe will go for the 2 screens (Standard) sub, or the 1 screen (Basic) sub. With basic, the same situation would result in a ~2EUR decrease in revenue.
I have had an identical problem a few years back, with a Samsung 2 in 1 that worked perfectly on AC, but had exact issues on battery.
It was the "power saving" capability of the GPU that triggered it on battery. So simply disabling this is the integrated Intel GPU control panel (in Windows) fixed the problem. Laptop is still running now and works with my sister in law.
