We cancelled our Netflix last month in anticipation of this change. We’ll subscribe for one month in the winter and watch all two or three good shows or movies they have available.

If they really want to get some revenue from these people, they should make the sub-account priveledges cheaper. Like, 25-50% cheaper than a base account. People are going to leave Netflix like crazy once they actually initiate this policy.

I just want to say how greedy the world is becoming!!! 🥺🥺🥺🤢🤢🤢

i heard that Netflix is going to match the account to the IP address to verify. Not sure if that's possible but I have 2 homes in 2 different states and if they force me to have 2 memberships, I'm gone.

Talked with Netflix customer service last night and was told that they will still charge military families who are forced to live separately the additional fee. So my husband who is stationed overseas and I have to pay for an additional fee for him to use our own Netflix account. I asked if I provide his military orders to prove we are being forced to live separately to Netflix if they would wave the fee. They said no. I understand their reasoning for cracking down on account sharing outside your household, but being penalized when you’re not sharing your account and are separated due to military orders is wrong and unsupportive of military families. We’ll be cancelling netflix.

Goodbye Netflix. If all of us don't agree with this, it won't happen. We are people so stupid and put up with crap. Laws can change if we don't like them. Netflix will go back to Password Sharing, if we don't like their policy 😒 People, we have the final saying 🙄

[marcleblanc]

It, Netflix, will never Grace my tv again

I'm only sticking to Netflix because I'm sharing with someone who is sharing her VPN access. But Netflix is making it complicated by restricting it by country. So I have to log on with her profile every now and then. Lol

Only current show I watch on Netflix is My Hero Academia which is nearing its season finale in the next 3-4 weeks. 😂😂

[kierkegardashian]

YES! I can finally get rid of rabid relatives that are still using my account
