I feel like other streaming platforms will follow the same process as they've proven it's worked.

Yeh, when they allowed it. They changed their terms of service.

So clearly some people did pay for that and it was changed at a later date…

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Companies are allowed to change their terms of service.

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People are allowed to be pissed off when they do.

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Absolutely they are. Didn't say they can't be.

What they can't do however is think that they're entitled to use the service in ways that are against the terms of service.

Company decides to change the deal and terms of service to require nudes and accompanying driver's licenses photos every 21 days in this wild hypothetical

Whirlybird: Why do people think they're entitled to use a private company's service nude-free while still paying? It's in the ToS!

Whirlybird: unsubscribe if the terms of service are not to your liking

rikonium: no I demand the other terms of service! Netflix is a human right!
