But the question isn't really the number of Netflix streamers. It is how many new subscribers.
I mean sure, you want to keep current subscribers happy. But if they got those numbers almost entirely from existing base versus signing up a bunch of new people.

I paid the $7 to watch the Chiefs game on Netflix and canceled the subscription after the game. Thankfully Netflix did a solid job with the streaming quality & stability.

Yea, plenty will do that. But say 10% don't cancel...

I waited until it showed up on NFL network, but I realize most can't do that without spoilers.

The quality was YouTube TV as always with being able to FF through commercials.

Yeah, they're hoping people will be too forgetful or lazy to cancel the subscription. I made sure to cancel it right when the game was over, but I still have access to Netflix for 30 days. We got the Ravens & Texans game on our local CBS because we're in the Houston market.

The real question is going to be when some of these TV rights come up. Are they going to try and steal games from CBS/FOX/NBC? If they can get regular games that guarantees 4-5 months of subscriptions from people. And the NFL would love it because it's a global audience for their game in one place.

Come on, bro. Do you feel like you’ve cracked the code by canceling your subscription immediately? Did they not budget for people like you when considering these events?

I didn't say I cracked any code. I canceled it as soon as the game was over because I don't want to forget about the subscription and be charged on January 24-25. I don't need Netflix and don't want to get charged $7.50 next month. Got plenty of other content distracting me.
