The well-known streaming company has taken an unpopular move that has been rumored for a long time. Users have to pay for account sharing.

One of the features on Netflix is ​​the ability to share your account with several other people. In practice, one account is thus used by several households. However, only its owner pays. A fundamental change to these rules has been talked about for a long time. Netflix already announced some time ago that account sharing will be stopped, or will be charged.

They will pay extra

This is now becoming a reality. The portal informs about it Techcrunch. The news is currently valid in the USA, but Netflix does not hide the fact that in the coming months it will be expanding to other countries, including European ones.

Netflix accounts from other households cannot be canceled outright, but those who want to continue using them will have to pay extra. For each additional access to the account, outside of one household, Americans will pay an additional $7.99 per month.

An unpopular move

Netflix on your blog announced that it has already sent an email to users in America with new instructions.

“One account is intended for one household. Everyone who lives in this household can use their Netflix account anywhere – at home, on the go, on vacation. It can also take advantage of new features such as profile transfer and access management,” the streaming giant explains.

Understandably, the decision was met with public displeasure, but Netflix claims it has been losing money this way.
