How many people do you share your Netflix account with?
Netflix just raised prices to $20 a month for the HD plan, but now is doubling down on big changes, making subscribers who share their passwords with other people pay more.
They will effectively end password sharing. According to updated Netflix terms of service, a customer’s account “may not be shared with individuals beyond your household.”
Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru will all be pilot countries for this program, which Netflix hopes to make global.
Chengyi Long, director of product innovation at Netflix, said in a blog post, “We’ve always made it easy for people who live together to share their Netflix account, with features like separate profiles and multiple streams in our Standard and Premium plans. While these have been hugely popular, they have also created some confusion about when and how Netflix can be shared. As a result, accounts are being shared between households—impacting our ability to invest in great new TV and films for our members.”
