Netflix fans slam account sharing crackdown and say it will ‘lose more money’

Netflix fans have slammed the company’s decision to crack down on account and password sharing, with many threatening to cancel their subscription and resort to illegal downloads. The streaming giant announced its plans to crackdown on account sharing last month, confirming that users will only be able to share an account if they stream within a single household.

This means sharing an account between family members that no longer live together will no longer be permitted and could end up costing you. Netflix is making the changes as a way to increase its revenue amid a fall in subscriber numbers and competition from rival platforms like Amazon’s Prime Video and Disney+.

@honk435049411 echoed: “They’re about to lose even more money when they see that people would rather not watch Netflix and watch the shows they like somewhere else than pay for their own subscription.”

I wil have a basic membership which is less money for them so they will lose money eventually if everyone does that.

Cannot see how this will work...How will they know its not me at another location logging into my account?

People will cancel their subscriptions. It’s that simple. There’s so many other options we can all use.
