We have all heard about how Netflix wants to start charging extra money if your share passwords with people other than your housemates, with the OTT platform testing this feature in a few regions. This is now expected to roll out ‘more broadly‘ by this March.
In a recent earnings report, Netflix revealed that its paid-sharing initiative will reach more people by the end of Q1 2023, which will provide you with an option to pay more if you want to continue sharing your passwords. So, you could either discontinue the practice or ask the people you share your Netflix password with to pay more.
It remains to be seen how this new feature is received, considering an earlier report didn’t showcase a positive side to this. While there’s no harm in paying some money to share a Netflix account, leaving the habit of using it for free won’t go away easily. We are yet to see when this reaches India and will keep you posted whenever this happens.
