If I'm paying for the 4 screen service, it shouldn't matter where those 4 screens are, especially if it's all family.
Netflix has the absolute worst content of any streaming service and for them to charge $20 + tax + sharing fees is ridiculous. Why people are so willing to pay so much for it is beyond me, but it’s probably the same reason Storage Wars is a popular TV show. Lowest common denominator sleazy entertainment.I mean they can say that all day long but the fact remains that Netflix is the worst value proposition out there. The content is much lower quality and the price is much higher than competitors. I cancelled my subscription nearly a year ago after signing up for the streaming service when it launched in 2008 for these very reasons. I haven't missed anything and I don't suspect that many who are force-cancelled will be willing to suddenly pay for it. I actually know a lot of people's parents who are paying and once this happens they're going to turn it off because they don't use it much.
I don’t know that charging one guy for multiple streams just so he can get UHD is stealing, per se, but it is pretty scummy of Netflix to do it. If it gets to the point I can‘t use all the simultaneous streams for which I am paying, the solution is likely to be to stop using their service, not pay more for the same thing.I’m here just for the comments to see how people justify stealing
Maybe it’s time to upgrade to a Roku?I just wish the apple tv app would auto choose me, instead of me having to select a dang user every time.
Netflix.
It's just me.
Just auto log in please.
Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.So how does watching shows on the go work?
Will people still be able to use Netflix while commuting on the train? What about when they travel and are staying in a hotel?
Or is Netflix becoming cable and can only work at a single service address?
I wish Netflix would not charge more for UHD, but that is their business model. Honestly i think the cost based on number of streams will go away in the near future, assuming this password sharing crackdown works as Netflix expects it.I don’t know that charging one guy for multiple streams just so he can get UHD is stealing, per se, but it is pretty scummy of Netflix to do it.

Obviously this is a YMMV situation, but there is no OBJECTIVE way to say Netflix has the worst content. My wife and I watch more Netflix than any other show. But, we are also not afraid of foreign language shows. There are some really good ones on Netflix.Netflix has the absolute worst content of any streaming service and for them to charge $20 + tax + sharing fees is ridiculous.

Is that mentioned in the article as well?Obvious there is a question about people who travel months at a time (snow birds). But, I imaging that Netflix will be able to tell snow birds from people who just give away their password to their whole dorm floor.
I share my sister’s account and had been struggling to find anything good to watch. Their original content is almost always crappy and don’t have anything I haven’t already watched from other makers. They used to have a lot of good outside content a few years ago but went downhill since they started focusing on originals and everyone started their own damn streaming service and stopped licensing their content.
I’d get my own account out of principle if Netflix fires the exec who approved their originals. Till then I wouldn’t miss it a bit.

Provide a reputable source please.Netflix reported in the same earnings report that since they banned password sharing in Canada, they have actually added subscribers and the growth rate is now higher there than in the US. They report some initial cancellations as expected but signups by those who were freeloading more than made up for it.
I'd expect the same to happen in the US despite the vocal minority.
You do realize that Netflix tweeted that love is sharing a password, don't you?I’m here just for the comments to see how people justify stealing
Like I said earlier, their business, their choice. The consequences will be what they will be. I, for one, won’t pay more than I am now to keep the same level of functionality I have now.I wish Netflix would not charge more for UHD, but that is their business model.
