Netflix loses 1M users in Spain over password policing
Netflix have really dissapointed me. I&#x27;ve been a subscriber since before streaming, and have even been content paying the subscription fee during the &quot;breaks&quot; of not using their service for up to months at a time because I so badly want(ed) them to succeed. I also understood the difficult situation they were facing when the producers of content were makkng ridiculous demands on their distribution, or worse, just pulling their content because they were opening their own service or some fuckhead like Murdoch threw money at them to keep an exclusive lock on it.<p>Their streaming model of watching on-demand (i.e., not a weekly release, here&#x27;s the whole show to watch at your own pace) and their investment in shows that were not the usual low-brow trope-laden predictable shit meant I was actually excited when a new show was announced. My favourite TV-watching moments have been getting lost in shows like Narcos, The Ozarks, or even the seemingly polarising Orange Is The New Black.<p>Now I log in and see nothing but nostalgia tv, trash telly like Love Is Blind, or inexplicably 1&#x2F;3 of my screen is listing mobile games that Netflix think I would be interested in.<p>.. and I&#x27;m genuinely concerned shows like The Diplomat are just going to leave us all hanging.<p>Meanwhile the other streaming services are at least as bad, but typically worse.
