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.

Do you use something different? Anecdotally, I find Disney+ to be a major divider. Friends of mine have kids and Disney+ and/or they're still using a decade-old Netflix subscription.

We use Apple TV a small amount (for Silo and Severance most recently), and Disney+ slightly more for the kids. We occasionally use YouTube.

We got a promotion for Disney+ and probably won't renew it. By the time it's over, it seems like there won't be much worth watching left on there. The kids already have a hard time finding anything they're interested in watching.
