    200,000 users is like a piss in the ocean for Netflix, especially when every other major streaming platform is also hiking prices, introducing ads and cracking down on account sharing.

    We are still far from the days of cable.

      Who does your post serve? It’s definitely meaningful, especially inn a relatively smaller population like Australia.

      Your post smells like piss.

      The significance of this, in my opinion, isn’t that Netflix lost 200,000 users in Australia, but that for the first time Netflix has seen a decline of users in Australia. No more line goes up, oh no!

      Either way, this is probably less from password crackdowns, more people jumping to alternative streaming platforms.

        I certainly don’t know anyone here in Australia with a Netflix account any more. But I know several people with Disney or other alternative streaming platforms. So I’ll agree with that one: They chose a platform that suited them better, and don’t miss Netflix.
