Don't know where to put this so feel free to move mods.

Netflix here we go again.

So Netflix have failed to learn from the lesson that jacking up prices is bad, when they bumped the cost to £15 a month, they lost hundreds of thousands if not millions of subscribers. They are now trialling a new charge, an additional £2.50 for shared accounts. Suffice to say I see an even...
