My mind boggles at this.

  1. Netflix was already charging per screen, so there really were never any free loaders.
  2. This represents a massive price jump for most users.
  3. Now if you want to use the service on the go, you basically can't.
  4. There is a bunch of competition now

I just get so tired of everyone rolling over and taking whatever mega corporations dish out. I would have thought on a non-essential service would be easy to push back against. Clearly I was wrong. Now every other service will see this as an opportunity.

Sometimes I hate people.
