For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn't want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

Yeah, well I already got my boat in the water since the account sharing announcement from Netflix. I'm sure many more will do the same in the coming months.

I guess I never stopped. Still have subs though, but might cancel that somewhere in the future.

I still have Netflix, but only because they still haven't bothered me about account sharing. The moment they do, It's going away.

Didn’t their subscriber count go up fairly dramatically after the restrictions started?
