  Netflix unveils plan to reduce customer base.
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. >
  
  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. >
  
  Lol. Yep. And honestly, my mother doesn't watch enough streamed services to justify her paying for them. She still has minimal cable, and loves Disney+ so stuff like Netflix is just a bonus. She wouldn't freak out and miss them if we cancelled. >
  
  Pricing and convenience are the strengths of streaming. Netflix is already pushing it with the pricing, and now they're messing with the convenience. Most of the reason I even still have Netflix is cause I share it and now you're stepping on that. Then if I travel I have to jump through hoops to use the service that I already pay a premium for? And the mandate that I have to watch something every month or risk being locked out of my own account? Are we parolees or something? Like you all were eating quite well on being the subscription that people just kinda forgot about and let run for whenever something good eventually popped up, but forcing engagement just to keep from getting blocked is going to make people think about it a lot more now. Just...none of this sounds smart. Frankly y'all don't have quality enough content to be this brash >
  
  You don’t understand, shareholders need to see a profit. The stock needs to go up. Gotta keep up the scheme. >
  
  Bless the beasts and the shareholders. It’s touching to see what tender regard companies have for them. >
  
  Not a problem at all, cancelling my subscription prevents password sharing too. >
  
  ..... yea to paraphrase what is gong happen "The more you tighten your grip, Netflix, the more watchers will slip through your fingers." >
  
  They don't get money for watchers, they get money for subscribers. >
  
  Today this household has one paying subscriber and four leeches who just watch (I’m in the latter category). Tomorrow this household will have zero subscribers. Netflix thought that they’ll squeeze the balls of the non-subscribing leeches, they just happened to squeeze their own balls and lost the one subscriber in the household that was paying them.     
  I’m not on their board of directors. I’m a consumer. Even a free-loading one, while one person in my household is a paying one. So my point isn’t about how they should or shouldn’t operate. They need to make money. I need to save money as a middle class person. We have our own agendas and when there’s no win-win scenario, one of us will fold. I fold now. Will several thousand households like mine folding dent Netflix’s plans? No idea. But this geolocation thing will cause several thousand households like mine to say “no thanks” going forward. >
  
  They’re gonna regret this move. In the past, they actively encouraged us through their own marketing to share passwords. To change directions this hard could be their downfall. >
  
  Password sharing means more views! Isn’t that what they should continue to encourage?!? This is stupid indeed >
  
  Wait, so you mean since I travel for work and can be away from home for 7-8 weeks at a time, I may not be able to watch Netflix on my iPad? If that’s true, I might be canceling, and I’ve had Netflix since it’s early days as just dvd rentals. >
  
  You can, you'll just have to report in to Big Brother Netflix whenever you're changing locations. >
  
  I hope Netflix loses billions from this then maybe they'll finally look into quality control. 90% of Netflix is hot garbage. >
  
  Look at Netflix, always finding ways to keep reminding me I haven't canceled it yet. >
  
  Exactly.
  I cancelled several months ago after reading one of their announcements. I hadn't enjoyed their library for a long time but momentum and laziness kept me subscribed.
  Them continuously talking shit finally got me motivated to say 'fuck you too, bro.' >
  
  T-mobile pays for mine. Otherwise I wouldn't have an account for 10/12 months of the year. >
  
  Same and I recently switched from T-Mobile one to magenta and my account was switched to one screen. It’s been a month and so far I’ve only been blocked once by my sil. I was going to kick my sil, mil, and oldest son off because I don’t want to pay the the extra $10 anymore anyway. I guess now I don’t have to sound cheap, cause it’s Netflix’s fault >
  
  This is so dumb.   I have had my account for like 20 years and I am mentally preparing to need to cancel it. >
  
  I opened my Netflix account back when they still sent DVDs through the mail, been subscribed ever since. This  might be the final nail in the coffin, though.
  EDIT: Just checked, been subscribed since 2012. Over a decade of Netflix - time flies. >
  
  Same here. I would’ve canceled a couple years ago after several price hikes and less content than ever if it wasn’t for my 7yr old daughter liking some shows and my step daughter watching some others (stranger things). They’re really getting ridiculous now. Put more than one show out a year that’s any good and doesn’t get canceled and I would stay. I don’t need Netflix myself, I used to ride the high seas for everything and YouTube has come a long way >
  
  Netflix doesn't think you'll actually cancel, they think you'll whine a little and then just accept it like a good little consumer. They probably have the data to back up their assumption, PROVE THEM WRONG!!!    
   Or they'll keep feeding you bowls of 💩 >
  
  I cancelled a long while ago, I hadn't used the service in like 2 months and some bag cereal version of Thor was in the header and it just tipped me over the edge so I cancelled.  I don't really like shows and their movie selection is awful. >
  
  I subscribe for couple months once a year, maybe less.  They'll get a show like Dahmer or something and I'll subscribe, watch it, and cancel.  I suspect that users like me are a bigger issue than password sharing.   At least with password sharing you might have an ongoing subscriber.  With me Netflix is only getting $20 once every year or two. >
  
  If they imagine I'm getting a separate subscription for my vacation home, they're out of their minds. >
  
  To be fair the article says you can update your address on your account when you travel. You wouldn't need a new subscription. >
  
  They also said for 7 days. What if you're travelling across Europe for a month. Seems too strict. >
  
  No, the article says you can get a temporary pass for 7 days OR you can update your permanent address in your account. >
  
  But it won't be your permanent address if you're traveling like that >
  
  You're updating your "primary location" on your account. >
  
  I presume as a "primary location" it would be strict with how often you can update it. >
  
  Why are you assuming that? >
  
  Because other systems I have interacted with have that limitation and this is designed as a limitation to try and get people to pay more >
  
  I wonder if pirate bay cares if I share my password... >
  
  Your ISP will!
  Haha private VPN go brrr >
  
  Isnt vpn just giving your browsing info to random company instead of your isp? >
  
  Most VPNs support split tunneling, which makes the VPN active only for certain applications, addresses, etc. I have mine set up to only be active for the torrent client, and the torrent client to only be active through the VPN's network connection. Less data for the VPN, no chance of torrents leaking data to the ISP. >
  
  What's a decent, inexpensive VPN? Poor college student asking. Thanks! >
  
  You may want to check out the stickied comparison table on /r/VPN. >
  
  Will do. Thanks. >
  
  R.I.P. netflix stocks >
  
  Stock is up 25% over the past month, and 65% over the past 6 months.
  According to Reddit, the Ad-Based tier was going to cause massive losses. Instead, they beat subscriber addition expectations.
  I can’t say for sure how the password sharing system will (or won’t) impact retention, but I do think that a Reddit echo chamber is not an accurate reflection of reality. >
  
  The stock is up because they released original content and started bringing in more foreign content.
  Netflix and reddit are 2 entirely different services. >
  
  Canceled my Netflix today >
  
  When your content is shit and not bringing in subs so you have to squeeze and annoy your existing customers instead of actually innovating and cutting costs at your company >
  
  This. I wonder why so many comments didn’t talk about cutting costs. They’re surely paying exorbitant prices to have Hollywood A-Listers. I mean I did enjoy “The Adam Project”, but if you have less of those and more of low-budget-but-equally-fun movies/series, you’re not going to incur that much production costs. Then you don’t have to squeeze the balls of the genuinely interested subscribers.      
  If there’s going to be a surge in people unsubscribing, it’ll just mean fewer customers having to pay Netflix more money for their unnecessarily expensive projects and that means they’ll keep raising prices. Cos I don’t see how a vain company like this will look at attrition and say “nope, no more projects that cost more than $X from today”. >
  
  But still won't stop canceling shows after 2 seasons >
  
  I feel like Netflix is overrating themselves with this move. In the earlier days before we had this clusterfuck of a million streaming services, it was a must-have. That's not the case anymore, so if they kick me off my brother's account (he pays for Netflix that we share and I pay for Hulu for us), I'll just stop watching Netflix and my brother will stop paying for multiple streams that he can't use. >
  
  Me and my brother do the same. I pay for Netflix and Hulu he pays for HBO and Disney and we share. I just recently got Netflix for myself because the one I was using kicked me off. Now I’m regretting it honestly. $20 is a lot for like the two shows I actually watch which are between seasons anyway >
  
  Yeah, this is BS. My partner and I share two homes, a house in the US and an apartment in Japan, which is where she lives 100% of the time, and I just float between the two due to my ability to work from anywhere.   
  What they are effectively saying is we have to buy two subs because we won't confirm to some arbitrary, traditional home-life. Screw that. Rather than pay for 2, or downsize to one and 1 sub and one of us make do without it (or use a VPN to the house), I am canceling mine on pure principle. >
  
  No the article says you can add her to your account and then you will have 2 home bases. I am in a similar situation with my partner. >
  
  Oh odd, the stuff I read yesterday explicitly said that wasn't an option. They keep changing stuff on the fly so much it's gotten quite confusing. I wonder if they will care shes in Japan and I am in the US though.. hmmm >
  
  Honestly I don't get why Netflix doesn't simply limit the number of simultaneous streams on a specific account. Hypothetically if at the lowest subscription you could only watch one stream at a time on a given account, for example, then "sharing" the account wouldn't be a problem since two people using the same account couldn't be watching two things at the same time in different locations. People who travel would still be able to use their account to watch things normally on one device at a time, it would just limit multiple people using the account at once. Then they could offer higher cost tiers that let you an account have 2 or 3 or 4 or more simultaneous streams going. 
  This whole thing of tying your specific account to a specific address at a specific time sounds like more of a hassle for everybody involved than it needs to be. >
  
  That IS how it works. We had to upgrade just to watch 3 streams in one house. >
  
  Anyway, does anyone need any help learning how to subscribe to a VPN and where to torrent from? >
  
  I do! Help? >
  
  I pretty much only have basic knowledge, but it should be enough to get you on your feet.
  Picking a VPN probably feels complicated, but the decent ones should all pretty much provide what you need.  You can find lists that kind of compare different VPNs.  I think pretty much anyone will tell you the most important thing is to use a paid VPN.  If you need to use one of the cheaper ones, that should be fine.  I was kind of surprised that list says mine is expensive, I use SurfShark and they charge like $2.50/mo if you pay for 24 months at a time.  The VPN should always be running if you're torrenting.  I also use SurfShark's kill switch which can make sure your torrents will stop if it's interrupted.
  You'll want to download a torrent client.  I heard good things about it, so I use qBittorrent.  Once that's installed, you'll want to tweak some settings.  Got to Tools -> Options to open the settings menu, or click the gear icon.
  
  
  Under Behavior, and Desktop, there's the option if you want the program to run when you turn on the computer.  I assume it's automatically checked for using qBittorrent for .torrent files and magnet links, but doesn't hurt to make sure.
  
  
  Under Downloads, there's an option to set the default save path.
  
  
  Under Speed, you may want to limit if it you ever have bandwidth issues.
  
  
  Under BitTorrent, next to Encryption mode change it to "Require encryption" and check the box next to "Enable anonymous mode"
  
  
  RARBG is the most reliable torrenting site I know of for TV shows and movies.
  It might take a while to get used to the way they're listed.  Some basic stuff is like:
  
  
  The seasons and episodes of shows are shown as "S01E01" for the first episode of a show's first season.
  
  
  It can be useful to stick in the release year of movies since they might have remakes or just another movie with the same name that's completely unrelated.
  
  
  You can include "1080p" if you want to only see the torrents of that resolution.
  
  
  You can also just take an iMDB link (this one is for The Last of Us and use the end of its URL to search, so searching "tt3581920" would list the torrents for The Last of Us; "tt3581920 S01E03 1080p" would bring up only the third episode of The Last of Us in 1080p resolution.
  
  
  If you're uncertain of which one to download, you can click the "S." in the bar above the listings and it will sort it by most number of seeders, that's usually a safe bet.
  
  
  There's the newly-released stuff that everyone's talking about, but you might not always hear about stuff just from word-of-mouth, so I usually check Metacritic's list like once a week. >
  
  Netflix has gone to shit. If this turns into a hassle we are going to ditch them. 100% going to ditch them if they increase the fee and start having ads. >
  
  They already have an ad supported tier. >
  
  Love how they basically just cut off their entire college demographic. >
  
  I'll reveal my plans to close my account. 🤷🏻‍♂️ >
  
  This should say Netflix unveils plans to go bankrupt LMAO >
  
  Jesus the people defending this on the IGN comments. 
  You’re not going to get a fucking discount for licking Netflix’s boot, so what do you gain by taking their side in fucking over everyone? >
  
  Makes you wonder if those are actually real accounts/people. >
  
  I’m sure some are. My city’s gas and electric company literally more than doubled gas rates overnight due to a natural gas “price increase” that didn’t exist. Most people in my local sub were irate, but there were a few that were like, “They’re a private company, they can do what they want.” Like no shit, but it doesn’t mean you have to defend it. People are weird. >
  
  In that context I think they were defending their right to do so; not the action itself. >
  
  Nah, they doubled down on defending it, in true reddit fashion. It was a "The gas company isn't gonna date you, bro" moment. There are too many weirdos who stick up for big businesses and billionaires. >
  
  Netflix is just a bad value proposition to begin with.  In the beginning, they were able to license tons of hit shows and provide them on-demand at a low price.  Then, all of the production houses started their own streaming services and Netflix lost all of that content.  So Netflix started producing it's own content at breakneck speed, greenlighting everything.  And, surprise, 90% of it is just total crap.  But they still paid to produce that crap, so now they are stuck finding ways to eek out more revenue to justify all the junk shows that were made for the sake of making more content.  Netflix became the cable of the internet, charging users for a bunch of programming they don't want all to be able to say "look at the volume of what we offer" except they made it easier to cancel and resubscribe than cable in case you want to binge that good 10% for a month out of the year. >
  
  If you don't cancel after this, expect every streaming platform to follow suite. >
  
  I’m canceling if I have to request a temporary passcode so I can use my account at work to show students science shows or while at a vacation rental. And by canceling I mean tell my mom she should cancel her account we share. >
  
  You could probably just make someone else a member of your account but put your school as their "home" and continue to use it in class if I am understanding this correctly without the setup every time
  But also unless you leave your home for more than a month you will be fine as the device only has to log in at "home" once a month so your experience will probably not change unless you teach for over a month straight >
  
  My sister is 14 and lives in Michigan. I'm the account owner and I live in another state. She is not going to get her own Netflix account. 
  This is so silly. >
  
  So if I don't watch Netflix for 32 days, go on vacation across the country and download movies or shows, I can't watch it because I haven't used it at home in 31 days. Or does the act of downloading count? >
  
  You can’t travel period unless you get a code they said. This is so dumb >
  
  So does that mean the mobile app will be discontinued?  I mean I have watched Breaking Bad on it when I am in the car and my spouse is driving down the interstate.  If so they best get rid of the app too! >
  
  Gizmodo says that the code allows you a 7 day travel period LOLL >
  
  That's for if you are using a device you don't own or that hasn't been logged into the home ip for over 30 days. Otherwise you can stream on any device that had been logged into at the home ip for 30 days without problem. If it's not your device or its been more than 30 days you can simply set up a 7 day pass for the device. Which is fine when you consider that most people use their own devices and likely will never need to use a 7 day pass with the new system >
  
  Lose like 1.2 million subs in 2022. Now they wanna go this route? Good luck. 
  What do they think is gonna save them? The final season of Stranger Things? The next season of Squid Game? Good luck dumbasses. >
  
  I pay to use it on three screens for my kids to view. After this I’ll downsize to one screen or switch to another streaming service for all. >
  
  See ya digital nomads >
  
  I don't travel for work as much anymore but I still do occasionally.  Streaming services are awesome because I can watch MY stuff wherever I am.  I'm not asking for a special use code to fire up netflix on my laptop.  I'll just stick to pornhub. >
  
  Unless you travel for more than a month at a time you wouldn't need the code. >
  
  Why do people still pay for this? >
  
  The only reason that I pay for Netflix is because my family uses it, otherwise I would have cancelled years ago. >
  
  With HULU you can't get live TV with a mobile hostpot as your internet, sounds like this is the way Netflix is going to go. Pretty shitty tbh. >
  
  The only Hulu restriction I’ve ran into is if you are not located in your home zip code. You can use Tailscale if you’re away to connect to your home network so Hulu thinks you’re at home and it’ll stream live channels just fine. >
  
  Oh yeah? Well in the coming days I'll unveil plans to expand my plex server storage with the money I'll save from canceling Netflix. >
  
  Was just thinking similar… guess my Plex gets beefier soon. >
  
  Ok, that's fine. The only reason I ever even watched any of the total crap content on Netflix is that I had a login from a friend from years ago. 
  I'll just permanently forget that you exist as a media source and not think twice. Seems like a brilliant business move on your part. >
  
  Time to cancel my subscription, oh and I guess short the stock too for good measure. >
  
  New Headline: Netflix Unveils Plans to Lose Subscribers. >
  
  Neflix unveils plans to lose even more customers. >
  
  Since I have Netflix for my kids and rarely watch it, then I would be locked out on my computer or TV or they can't watch it at their moms if they forget to sign in? This sounds pretty stupid. I will just switch to hbo max and I already have prime. >
  
  might wanna check your phone provider. i used to pay $25 for hbo max & one day just happened to be looking at phone plan upgrades. found one that was only $10 more than what i was paying that added a hotspot and hbo max >
  
  I wonder how long till one of the VPN services out there starts providing a "virtual home" service as part of their plans.
  The easiest setup would be to have the "master client" (ie: someone thats subbed to whatever-VPN) create a VPN tunnel complete with local user accounts. Then other people can be given a client that simply connects through that tunnel. Netflix would be none the wiser. 
  Note: I know you can already do this for free. The point is that this could simplify things greatly for less tech-savy people. >
  
  I unveil plans to cancel it >
  
  Damn profit seeking ruins another company >
  
  What I hate most about this is that I PAY FOR 4 SCREENS. I could be cheaper if I had only 2 screens. Who cares where those screens are being played in my house or not. I should get 4 screens regardless. >
  
  Likely they'll change screens to users and you experience will stay the same honestly >
  
  Yeah if this changes anything for us in how we use Netflix my cancellation will soon follow.
  Too many acceptable options available. >
  
  Well, time to cancel my subscription then >
  
  So I get that this is a first world problem, but my parents live in three locations throughout the year. Am I supposed to dismount the 65 inch TV at the lake to bring home every month so it can connect to the "home" WIFI? Paying for a new account at each location is fucking stupid. I also contacted customer support today through their live chat and he just lied that they would all continue to work. They can get bent. Goodbye Netflix. >
  
  You simply add those locations to the account by adding your parents and putting the other homes as the secondary addresses. Then the account will have alot of home bases to check into so their phones and any other portable stuff will also stay functioning for the account >
  
  That actually sound perfectly reasonable, but I haven't seen that stated anywhere yet. Do you have a source for that info? I'd like to check it out. I didn't see that in account management on the website yet either. >
  
  Lol I only have it for the kids.  If my son can't use my password bye bye Netflix >
  
  I pay for the service.. I can share it with whom I want. That’s messed up. >
  
  An email code system is definitely coming. A lot streaming services have that already. They can cut out a lot of sharing just by eliminating the sharing between people that never talk to each other. Getting your own account suddenly looks a lot better when you’d have to call your ex-girlfriends parents for the code in their email. >
  
  "Get my own Netflix, or have an awkward conversation about my unintentional new baby mama?" >
  
  I remember the good ol' days when Netflix used to send DVDs through the mail >
  
  Did they stop doing that? I haven't used that service in a few years. >
  
  yo-ho , yo -ho.
  ARRGGGHH.... >
  
  Lol, time for everyone to look up ssh tunneling. >
  
  Or Netflix Unveils Plans to Get Out of Business >
  
  Going to message my two relatives I share account with today "Hey finish what you are watching on Netflix because I'm going to cancel my 4 screen 4k account end of month"
  Fuckoff Netflix >
  
  Cool. Do your due diligence and find a paid Emby or Plex server out there. It's 1/10th the cost and has everything. Netflix and all those other "streaming" services have made their money already. >
  
  Netflix is just biting the hands that feed it, I use my brother’s Netflix (and he has others too) but this monthly check in thing will get annoying real damn quick >_>
  Hope this smacks them back real hard, seriously 😒 >
  
  I have unveiled a plan to cut ties with Netflix. >
  
  Its adorable that Netflix thinks this is going to convert "Borrowers" to Subscription members. I'm borrowing a friend's Netflix because there's only a small handful of things I might want to watch and it's not worth paying the money for it. 
  Others can't afford the expense, those borrowers aren't going to subscribe.
  Others are a joint household that had someone go on vacation/get deployed for long periods of time. I doubt they're going to pay for two subscriptions. >
  
  You will be able to add others to the account to add other home bases so for that last example it shouldn't be a problem. Other than that I don't think they are trying to convert the leeches on accounts but to simply discourage them from even being there >
  
  I stream, therefore I am. >
  
  
  The Costa Rican Help Center states that devices must connect to the Wi-Fi at the primary location and watch something on Netflix "at least once every 31 days."
  
  so a device you only use when you travel won't work, but will get a bunch of spyware on it. >
  
  It'll work assuming you bring it home and tap a single button once a month. Spotify is like this with downloaded songs on the premium sub >
  
  Much like anything Netflix related, people are going to freak out. Then they’ll release their next hit that strikes at the zeitgeist and everyone will be back. >
  
  I dont recall prime or any other roku app having this issue, just saying…. >
  
  And I have unveiled my plan to cancel my subscription. >
  
  If i am sharing with someone in the same city would they flag that? >
  
  We have two homes. I will cancel before I jump through hoops. >
  
  Real talk. Is this a way to combat VPN users? >
  
  I'm not saying life without Netflix is better, but surely it isnt worse >
  
  Well the content has been shit for a while… so why would anyone bother? >
  
  My lady and i cancelled right before this got announced. It took a little longer since it he to get cancelled through the bank, but it was kinda funny to get the calls from family members about her account not working. >
  
  doesn t spotify have the same policy? >
  
  ...Would it not be simpler to limit one login at any time. I have accounts with other streaming services and if they notice me logging into to another device while still logged into another they won't let me until I logout of the other one first. >
  
  What was wrong with 1 subscription for one active session?
  Or like spotify: 1 active session and max 5 devices. 
  It's so simple but if you smoke the wrong stuff then these things happen i think >
  
  I have a premium account that I pay for and let my sister and her family use since ya know, I’m allowed to have 5 devices streaming at once. If they block my family from streaming, then I’ll have no qualms canceling since my sister said I could at any time months ago. >
  
  Id imagine hamachi could be used as a workaround?? >
  
  This is such a bad idea.
  This won't bring the ppl who shard a account to buy their own... Ppl will just go to another service.
  Nstflix will lose money actively with this instead if just getting gaining the same as before
