Not that I personally care if individuals violate terms of service, but using that in a sales pitch seems akin to advertising for piracy services.

Abiding by the terms of the agreement which you enter into with the company providing the service is a requirement to continue service and/or avoid liability, irrespective of whether it includes completely idiotic and archaic business practices and irrespective of whether this causes harm.

And yes, I also find Netflix to have extremely limited value.

This isn't the right way to overturn stupidity.



What is the right way to overturn stupidity then?


Legal means.

Not paying for a service whose terms you disagree with in areas you disagree. Using alternative services that do not have those terms. Demonstrating against the business practice. Petitioning for law that renders the terms illegal or invalid. Finding way to challenge the parasitic middlemen that are to blame. And so forth.
