I'm not surprised. It went really well for Netflix.
Everybody said they'd cancel Netflix over it, even that it would be a mistake that would kill Netflix, but when it came down to it, most continued paying/bought a plan and Netflix became more profitable.
The people who said they'd cancel probably did, they were just the minority.
What's probably more likely is that the "everybody" that you heard from was an incredibly unrepresentative sample of people from a bubble of nerdy tech enthusiasts.
And those people, like me, probably did cancel.
I am still surprised more people didn't cancel since everyone I know who uses streaming services shares them, and most are splitting the cost.
Great news to be honest. I hope disney sees a similar spike in profits so they can make more great shows for me to pirate.
Ay someone gets it. Everyone can win
Ironically I dropped Netflix for the Hulu Disney package because of password sharing and I was the one paying.
Yep. I cancelled but all of my family on my account got their own
I cancelled. It's just that I'm a small minority of people. The number that cancelled was apparently less than the people who signed up for their own account. Oh well. Netflix wasn't that good anymore anyway. I barely used that app. Disney Plus however I'm not going to cancel. That one is worth it to me.
