But this week, Netflix fans have been hit with some bad news.
The streaming service is cracking down on shared accounts!
Instead, it’s rolling out a new “paid sharing” feature for multi user accounts.
Netflix said: “Later in Q1, we expect to start rolling out paid sharing more broadly. Today’s widespread account sharing (100M+ households) undermines our long term ability to invest in and improve Netflix, as well as build our business.”
“While our terms of use limit use of Netflix to a household, we recognize this is a change for members who share their account more broadly.”
What do you think of the change?
