Netflix will put a stop to password sharing by end of March

Back in October, the streaming giant said it would begin charging subscribers who share their accounts.

Netflix plans to bar users from sharing passwords for free by the end of March of this year, according to a recent company announcement in a letter to shareholders.

Back in October, the streaming giant said it would begin charging subscribers who share their accounts but did not give a specific date or information for when the new policy would be enacted.

In a quarter four earnings report released late last week, Netflix revealed it would implement the paid sharing system across the platform in the latter portion of quarter one.

From stiffs who steal?

Do you have a problem with this?

 

[Rexedgar]

The BIL has been doing this for years……..

 

[Credence]

I wonder how they are going to weed out legit subscribers who travel from others who are actually sharing

 

[Geoist]

As a Netflix shareholder, I'm all for this decision.

Surprised it took so long.

It made sense for introducing people to the service, but they let it run rampant.

So this changes eh?

How many devices and people can watch Netflix at once, broken down by each subscription plan

The number of people and devices that can stream Netflix at one time depends on the subscription you have. Here's a guide to the limits of every plan.

The only people who use my account are me and my daughter. However, my daughter does not live with me, yet she is indeed family. I guess Netflix wants family to live together, even as adults.

Well, I'll be saving another $22/mo. Bye-bye. I watch Tubi more than I watch Netflix, so I won't miss it.

I know quite a number of people who are sharing so widely with two sets of grandparents, parents, married kids. It does seem unfair to others.

Now if Netflix can just stop cancelling their good shows.

Not a Netflix user. Did not know it costs $22/mo. Amazing to me so many people are willing to pay that.

It jumped up like crazy. And Netflix is quickly bleeding subscribers.

I just want to know so when we travel, so we can cancel.

Indeed! I was incensed when they cancelled MST3K and The Dark Crystal!

I get that. The only reason I still have Netflix is because my daughter does watch stuff on it. I maybe watch 10 hours max/per month, most of their content is garbage to me. They cancel shows so often it's never worth getting invested in any of them and their movies are often terrible.

Yes, it is the most expensive of it's type of service by far. I've been considering dropping it for some time but as I said, my daughter uses it. I have alot more disposable income than she, but I really don't like wasting money either. I just called her and told her that if she wants the service she will have to sub at the end of March because I'm out.
