My family is paying nearly $30/month for Netflix now, on top of paying for cable TV, Max, and Amazon. I currently pay for Hulu and Disney+ and share it with the family, but I really hope password crackdowns are not the norm.

If they are, I'm gonna have a good talk with them about other options. Just throwing money away because "Well what if I want to watch something on that platform one night and I don't have it" is precisely how these vampires want people to feel - the fear of lack of access.

If you don't vote with your wallet on the Netflix one, crackdowns will become the norm

Agreed. The Netflix one is out of my control as I don't pay for it. So this discussion may be inevitable.
