Maybe Netflix need to adjust their offerings, and do it like carriers where you have only one tier, fully featured with 4k, but pay cheaper for the second line, third, and so forth.
Or something like Microsoft 365 family, where each person is a user, and charge by the user, with an option of a Family bundle allowing up to 6 users.

that's a great idea but they would lose way too many users from the most expensive tier...So it won't happen....
I don't know, seems like that's considered same household to me. Either way, the kid can just ask for the verification code, and they'd probably allow it.
“Household” is pretty vague. I do not see any clarification that all “household” members can only stream from the same street address.
Of course they won't, because they want their cake and eat it too.
This is not enforceable anyway. I mean what are they going to do, start blocking IPs? But then people watching on-the-go will have issues.
Why sell a package with the supposed benefits of being able to stream from up to six devices simultaneously, and then take steps to stop people doing so?
either lower the price so that it reflects the fact that only one or two people can use it, or let people share. Netflix in the UK is quite a bad deal as it is imo. Their legacy content is getting worse and their original content is almost all bland. Bojack was great, Better Call Saul obviously worth it. But I’d rather just buy individual films as I want to watch them on iTunes than pay for Netflix and watch whatever semi-obscure 90s action movie they’ve decided to put up this month.

yeah sure extra profits from subscriptions increase will go to janitors and caterers🤣😂🤣😂 not on shareholders' pockets....
Household has a definition: "a house and its occupants regarded as a unit"
Netflix isn't required to educate users' vocabularies in their terms of use.
I was in favor when the rumors were that Disney+ would block password sharing and I’m in favor of it. Buy your own ****.
Then how can Netflix enforce it? How can they know the second/third device streaming with a different IP is not the same "household."
I consider my “household” to include family members who do not live with me. Even with that we are still way under their 4 simultaneous streams limit. It’s the only way I justify paying their higher prices. If this crackdown affects me I will cancel Netflix and only sign up for single months to binge watch something and then cancel again. They will end up losing money from me. My elderly parents and my disabled niece will have no problems finding other content to watch.
What is confusing to you about the term “household”? It’s literally a physical place where 1 or more people live.
Cool. I consider my household to be my neighborhood block, so we all share our neighborhood Netflix account.
The easiest way for Netflix to fix this is just to charge the account holder more when people regularly access it outside of their household.
But Netflix actually offers tiers that features multiple screens at the same time.
If a person already paid for a tier that allows 4 screens at the same time, does it matter who is behind those screens watching?
I don't think Disney+ offer this kind of tiering. They only have one single tier.
they just did , by 2$ , i have never in my life seen a subscription decrease in price....EVER.
I’m not sure why that matters. It’s intended to be shared amongst your household. If you have streaming boxes set up in 4 houses, it’s pretty easy for a Netflix to tell and well within their right to shut you down.
Disney+ allows you to stream on four devices within the same household.
Because Netflix says so you and agreed to it when you signed up.

Another user has stated that the household doesn't mean a single house/address.
I cancelled my subscription this month. Mostly everything they offer now is utter ***** / low budget.
