The free sharing of Netflix accounts between multiple households is likely to be discontinued soon. At least that's according to a recent move by the company of the same name in Peru, Chile and Kostarice. In these three countries, it has started testing a new feature in the form of an additional fee that it charges for the possibility of sharing between multiple households, which is currently against Netflix rules.

Currently, Netflix only allows account sharing between members of the same household, or at the same address. In practice, however, it has never really fought against shared accounts between multiple households, which is why this style of Netflix viewing is very popular. Moreover, access to shared accounts can now be easily found on online marketplaces, and in this case you can get access to an account shared with people literally from all over the world. Netflix has tested verification systems in the past that were intended to eradicate account sharing between multiple households, but they were not entirely successful, since even these “locks” could be bypassed. Now, it wants to go somewhere else.

The new feature being tested will de facto legalize account sharing between multiple households for a certain additional fee, the amount of which will apparently depend on the subscription price in the given country. For example, in Kostarice, the “legalization” of a shared account with another household costs $2,99, with the cheapest subscription there costing $8,99. So if we count on a fee of roughly a third of the lowest monthly subscription, in the Czech Republic we should theoretically pay around CZK 66 for the possibility of legally sharing an account with another household, which is a fairly pleasant price. However, the question is how Netflix will control everything and possibly punish users who do not use the “legalization” option. The previous verification method for viewing in one household consisted of the need to copy a code sent to the account owner’s email or message, which could, however, be solved relatively easily by automatically forwarding messages to all users with access to the account. Now, something much more sophisticated will need to be invented. In addition to the verification system, the current question is when we will see the new surcharge system. It may take months or even years for the company to catch all the flies, as this is a somewhat revolutionary thing for it.
Just a stupid question. And if I go on vacation and watch Netflix in the hotel in the evening, they will think that I am not in my household, and therefore they would demand a fee ???
Unfortunately, there is still very little information about the fees, so it is impossible to answer with complete certainty. But if you are the owner of the account, it probably won't be a problem.
Well, we'll see how it goes and when it does. I have Netflix at home and on chatAnd logically, wherever I go, I'll check in...
I pay the highest tariff because of 4k and the possibility of 4 accounts, and then the fact that a really large part of the content is not dubbed annoys me. What is produced by Netflix has quality 4k and mostly dubbing, but their forced gender balance in their films is disgusting.
And why do I curse at movies without dubbing? ProWhen I watch a movie in 4K on a 50-liter TV, I enjoy the picture and the details. I don't need to spend the movie reading subtitles 😉
I'd rather watch the movie in the original.. because an actor is an actor not only because he can look beautiful, but above all to speak.. :)
Michal: so you'll get a high-quality image with low-quality sound... Great... I also have an OLED and I certainly wouldn't spoil the quality of the picture with dubbing and thereby devalue the entire film
I completely understand Michal. You're going through a ton of junk on Netflix, where some movies have CZ dubbing, some only have CZ subtitles, and some don't even have that. It's definitely better in this regard. HBO Max, where everyone has the opportunity to choose what suits them. You don't always feel like reading subtitles, not every family member can speak English, and the younger ones can't even read.
rather, I imagine it as how Spotify Family works Apple subscription, where everyone has their own login but a common subscription
I would be interested in that too. There are five of us in the family, each with about three devices. Also, a TV and PS at home, a cottage, aancelectricity, television and PS at parents' when children are with them, etc.
I have netflix active on 26 devices, no one outside the family watches it, the location is thirty kilometers away. Hopefully I'll pass :-)
Certainly not, the problem would be if you played the content on multiple devices in other places
omg, they should lower the price of the highest package and attract people.. because even in the state it has been proven that the lower the taxes, the more people are inclined to avoid them, not pay and in koneas a result, you will collect more at 20% tax than at 30%...
correction *the higher the taxes are
WOW…. Michal has the highest tariff, Michal has 4K, Michal has a phone for 50 K.... Michal doesn't know English :((( and Michal doesn't like gender balance. .... :D
Michal probably won't be the sharpest pencil in the penalty area :D
So the first thing that came to my mind was what Michal wrote. I guess I'm a pencil too.
If I'm not going somewhere for work - I don't have NTB with me, I just log in and log in to a smart TV somewhere in the hotel and watch a movie in the evening... Just don't forget to log out again at the end of your stay.
From Netxlif's point of view, it's a change of address for a week. On the other hand - nobody at home is watching it at the moment.
Keep calm. This really applies to paying people 😉
Certainly not the Olda type with a ridiculous pocketbook or other iq values of a glass of water. Intelligent (mira + editor) understood what I wrote about. And my comment about picture quality etc was just rhetorical. Well, the scoundrel got caught 😉 Howk
