Has Netflix cracked its password-sharing crackdown?
in its initial months, with test subjects crying foul over the way password-sharing fees have been announced, policed and implemented. , many of those involved – in Peru, at least – have been left confused by Netflix’s loose definition of “household” and frustrated by a lack of clarity over whether they qualify for the additional fee.
It makes sense, then, that the streamer is testing an entirely new system in Argentina, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.that “widespread account sharing between households undermines [its] long-term ability to invest in and improve [the Netflix] service.” Company executives estimate that more than 100 million non-paying households exist worldwide, with over 30 million in the US and Canada alone.
If indeed they do in the not-too-distant future, would you prefer to pay a surcharge per househould, or per user? Vote in our Twitter poll below: Netflix is trailing a new password-sharing system which would see you share your account with other households, rather than individual users. What do you think?
