Netflix versus account sharing. Fight entered Poland – angry users
If you share a Netflix account with people who don’t live with you, May 23 ends. Netflix is officially starting the fight against account sharing with people outside the household. Such people receive a special message from today and their access is blocked. The functionality entered on May 23 in Poland, the United States and many countries around the world.
Netflix – no more account sharing
The official Netflix website states:
A Netflix account is intended for use within one household. Everyone in this household can use Netflix no matter where they are – at home, away or on vacation – and take advantage of new features such as ‘Transfer Profile’ and ‘Manage Access & Devices’.
The graphic below shows the message being sent. This means that a person from outside the household must pay a surcharge of PLN 9.99. According to the American media, the lack of such a surcharge is associated with blocking access to Netflix.
The reaction was not long in coming. Users are furious and many on social media are declaring goodbye to the platform.
Twoje konto na Netflix jest dla Ciebie oraz Twoich domowników. Wprowadzamy w Polsce nowe funkcjonalności, które sprawią, że zarządzanie kontem stanie się jeszcze łatwiejsze. I tak – nadal możesz oglądać w czasie podróży https://t.co/EcjeqSlvtk
