Account sharers are not the real villains, and cracking down on them won't help anyone - least of all Netflix.

I'm quite the opposite.

I don't care about account sharers, but I don't want to see commercials.

This is something I'm paying for - not network TV.

Account sharing seems kinda like a cheat anyway. If ever household paid for their subscription, they probably wouldn't have to raise rates so often.

So basically the author is saying that Netflix shouldn't crack down on account sharing, but also shouldn't put much advertising in, because that's annoying, and he doesn't want his Stranger Things watching interrupted? Aside from just expressing a desire to not have to pay for things, it's hard to discern what philosophy about commerce and capitalism is really being expressed here. Oh, and it seems beyond naive to assume that cracking down on account sharing and working to improve the appeal of their content are mutually exclusive endeavors.

I hope the commentary about automobiles is more thoughtful than this opinion piece.
