Sharing your Netflix password with people who are not in your family those days may be less in number. As Netflix said it will roll out plans globally to “monetize” account sharing early 2023.
How Netflix Monetize Plan will work?
Netflix will make it easier for you to share your Netflix account with family or friends who don’t live with you by creating “sub accounts” or “extra members.”
Each sub account would get a login, profile and personalized recommendations.
Netflix said this week that you will also be able to transfer your profiles to new accounts which would make it easier for people who share accounts to get their own.
Netflix wrote in a letter to shareholders :
“We’ve landed on a thoughtful approach to monetize account sharing and we’ll begin rolling this out more broadly starting in early 2023,”.
“After listening to consumer feedback, we are going to offer the ability for borrowers to transfer their Netflix profile into their own account, and for sharers to manage their devices more easily and to create subaccounts (“extra member”), if they want to pay for family or friends.”
This move is similar to tests Netflix has running in Latin America that force subscribers to pay an extra $2.99 for each additional home streaming Netflix.
