  So... Fun story about how we ended up doing this for my in-laws in their 60s. We occasionally pay for a seperate account for streaming services for them when they want to watch something. 
  They can't figure out how to sign up for it themselves, and even if they could, they don't trust using a credit card online. (We have to order stuff off of Amazon for them, too, for this reason. 🙄) And I can see them unintentionally messing up our playlists and profiles if they used our accounts.  
  So they'll give us cash and ask to have something activated, and we activate services as they want to watch them. As complicated as that sounds, it's the easiest way to deal with that whole situation. 
  Husband already set up accounts and subs on their streaming box so that they can just choose the app and watch, but he has to occasionally drop in and do tech support because someone deleted something or changed a setting. Ffs, we both used to work tech support where we walked people through this shit over the phone all day and night, and we were both fairly good at it, but his parents are just that bad. He once asked his mom to send him a link to something she wanted, walked her through it, and what he got was a picture of her laptop she took with her phone that showed the URL field at the top of the browser.
context: Sounds overly complicated, which means it will probably cause more problems than solve.
  It's so much simpler to just charge what they want to actually charge for number of devices playing at the same time and then not worry about account sharing. >
  
  That’s why I pay for the most streams. I’m divorced, one kid is away at college the other lives with her mom. 
  This is going to piss me off if I get charged for my kids using my account. >
  
  Between everyone sharing my family's account, we might watch something once a month. There's nothing good on there anymore and I'm sick of things I love being cancelled. If it costs more we'll probably just cancel. >
  
  People seem to say this all the time but I thought last earnings report they gained back most if not all the people they lost the previous quarter. I'm betting they have an idea of how many people will go when they change these things and the likelihood those same people sign up when say the next season of Stranger Things drops. >
  
  Quite a few people already started with rotating services. My coworkers subs for 3 month to netflix then cancels, 3 months crave,3month paramount, and 3 month dysney. He also have prime, but he has it mostly for deliveries since he buys shit tons of stuff fot work. >
  
  Hmm, time for a conglomerate to buy in and offer that service.  You could pay a fixed amount per month and be able to view shows on HBO, Nickelodeon...wait a minute, we tried this!  This is just cable! >
  
  Which is why people are leaking back into the pirating game.
  Economic changes are forcing many households to actually choose their services.  Part of this means there's a lot of payment splitting between households.  When services remove the value behind splitting or up the price to the point where you might as well get your own sub, people are going to start making more strategic choices about what they keep -- and frankly, Netflix isn't on the top of everyone's want list anymore.
  I can't say what trends are like in other countries where Netflix enforcement has already been piloted, outside of expressing that I don't think the results in the US and Canadian markets are going to be the same as, say, Argentina. >
  
  So these people are going to end up cancelling their Netflix subscriptions:
  Families where the kids spend time at more than one house.
  Families with college students.
  People who travel for work (pilots, truck drivers, sales people, etc).
  Families with deployed military spouses.
  People who want to share a movie with a friend at the friend's house.
  People with more than one house.
  Anyone who goes on vacation and wants to watch a movie.
  Anyone wanting to watch a movie on a hotspot (commuting, out to lunch, sitting in a park) >
  
  People with elderly family who aren't tech savvy.
