The significance of this, in my opinion, isn't that Netflix lost 200,000 users in Australia, but that for the first time Netflix has seen a decline of users in Australia. No more line goes up, oh no!

Either way, this is probably less from password crackdowns, more people jumping to alternative streaming platforms.

    I certainly don't know anyone here in Australia with a Netflix account any more. But I know several people with Disney or other alternative streaming platforms. So I'll agree with that one: They chose a platform that suited them better, and don't miss Netflix.
