People are dying, you can handle a slightly worse video quality.
I'm fine with not going to the gym and I'm fine with a lower Netflix quality. But you shouldn't charge me for a service that you're simply not providing anymore.
Netflix should downgrade everyone's plan automatically or just charge them less.
That's basically all they had to say. Something to the effect of "This sucks but it's necessary and needed to be done quickly. We'll try to make it up to you." Then figure out whether to refund people on the higher plans or give them a free month or credit on their account or something.

The way it was said in the parent comment was ridiculous.
