No one I know uses Netflix anymore, and I haven't for a while, but from what I've seen their subscriber numbers are actually doing quite well.

I'm not sure I know anyone that _doesn't_ have it

Like seneca, I also don’t know anyone who uses it. That’s interesting. I haven’t used it for around 2 years.

I wonder who uses it when I see their reports, because I don’t know them. I probably have a weird group of friends. I’m sure if I asked, some of my coworkers use it.

My kids would love if we used it. Perhaps it’s big among younger people.

Maybe that's part of it?...my sibling has a toddler and they use it for a lot of children's shows. Conversely, my mother watches it often too (not for kids shows!)
