THB #237: Netflix in Realityland™

Change is exciting. Exhilarating. Intoxicating.

And then there is this…

What is this? This is how Netflix is trying to enforce its anti-password-sharing effort in South and Central America. By taking away existing subscriber rights and, some would say, a core tenant of change that streaming represented.

If you can only watch a streamer in your home, how different is it, really, from the legacy TV experience?

Mind you, I don’t begrudge Netflix this choice or this effort. I get it.

Money is the enemy of Wonderland.

There have long been ideas about the future of free and the long tail and “information wants to be free” that make sense. Others, not so much.
