Yeah you are probably right. Squeezing the most profit out of your customers certainly isn't easy.
But I am sure they are constantly running the numbers in the background, just as they did with other changes such as the crackdown on password sharing or changes in subscription tiers.
I do think people will always want some form of entertainment. And with cable on the way out I'd imagine that as far as streaming services go Netflix is in a good position to be that default "minimum" so to speak.
Only question would be if free services such as YouTube could fill that entertainment void and make people not want at least one streaming service (I'd assume that once one of them does long subscriptions, everyone else would follow suit)
