Netflix panics, says password sharing update was an accident

THE GUARDIAN: Netflix accidentally posts guidelines for cracking down on password sharing
 

“For a brief time yesterday, a help center article containing information that is only applicable to Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru went live in other countries. We have since updated it.”


Although Netflix has yet to unveil its plans to tackle account sharing worldwide, the trial is the closest indication to what a global approach might look like.
 

Netflix, which has 230 million subscribers worldwide, said last month that account sharing “undermines our long-term ability to invest in and improve Netflix”. It said more than 100m households were sharing accounts and that in the first three months of 2023 it expected to roll out paid sharing in other countries.
 

“As we roll out paid sharing, members in many countries will also have the option to pay extra if they want to share Netflix with people they don’t live with,” the company said. Netflix said it recognised that restrictions on account sharing would be “a change for members who share their account more broadly”.

The guidelines were a mess. If you’re travelling, you only get access to your account for 7 days, or you need to contact their help centre.

 

You also need to log into your account at least once every 31 days from your place of residence. 
 

And a whole host of other ridiculousness.

Thank god it’s not rolling out now because I’m literally going on a 2 week vacation rn and I would literally cut a ***** if I had to call some ******* help desk rn to allow MY account to be logged into by MYself

Ridiculous. They should just admit that this was a bad idea and discard the whole thing because at this point it's clear it's gonna backfire, big time.

Sounds like they want to lose subscribers. :rip: Not all family members live in the same house. People will just end up cancelling and moving to a different service.

clowns, they are only making themselves look worse. Cancel your subscriptions!

The whole thing is so dumb... they clearly want to try and find a way to stabilize the way they're hemorrhaging money but this isn't it. That whole logging into the home network thing was doomed to fail/piss people off. How are people who get their Netflix through their phone company/provider on a family plan supposed to keep their access?

Lol

 

They clearly put it out to see how people react to it. Clearly, it wasn't a smart idea.

 

Now they moved to another idea of yet another price increase if you want to share password :ace:

So cancelled?

The whole thing is so stupid, I literally have a ridiculously long intricate password because someone hacked into my account once so I changed the password to something literally no one would not even myself :skull: I don't want to have log in once a month

They should start with not giving actors like 30/40 million each for just one ******* movie. Its silly and actors should know better
