Streaming giant Netflix on Tuesday began its planned crackdown on password sharing in america, alerting users that their accounts can’t be shared without spending a dime with people outside of their households.
The streaming video pioneer has been on the lookout for latest ways to generate income because it faces signs of market saturation, with efforts including the password crackdown and a latest ad-supported service.
The corporate said it was emailing customers who’ve been sharing passwords to inform them they’ll add an additional member outside their homes for $8 per thirty days.
They may also transfer an individual’s profile so the user can keep their viewing history and suggestions.
People throughout the same household can proceed sharing the identical Netflix account and might apply it to various devices when traveling, the corporate said in a blog post.
Netflix announced last yr that it was going to limit password sharing and had already tested various approaches in some markets.
