Netflix to start charging up to $4 a month for each additional profile on your account

Netflix may begin charging a fee for additional profiles appearing on accounts beginning next year, reports say.
During its quarterly earnings call on Tuesday, Netflix said it may introduce the fee for every additional user profile that appears in the 'who's watching' window that opens when first logging onto the site.
The measure was first floated back in April after a dreadful earnings report, according to the New York Post, and comes after Netflix has tried to find ways to keep users from sharing accounts without driving them away from the platform.
Based on pilots of the possible program that have been carried out in Latin America, the fees in the US could be between $3 and $4.
quote:
Netflix characterized the new idea as a 'thoughtful' way to solve the account sharing problem which has plagued them for years.
'We've landed on a thoughtful approach to monetize account sharing and we'll begin rolling this out more broadly starting in early 2023,' Netflix said in its announcement.
'After listening to consumer feedback, we are going to offer the ability for sharers to manage their devices more easily and to create sub-accounts, if they want to pay for family or friends.'
quote:
The wide-scale rollout of the move now has the potential to make or break Netflix, which has been struggling to find a way to shore up its plummeting profits while maintaining its subscription based revenue platform.
Analysts have said that Netflix is doing everything it can to avoid subjecting users to advertisements or selling their data, but many predict it is only a matter of time before the firm is forced to turn to that.
quote:
Netflix originally allowed for multiple profiles on an account so that multiple members of a household, such as children, can enjoy content without having to start their own Netflix account and pay the monthly fee.
quote:
On Netflix, a single account can host up to five 'profiles', each individually named and curated for one person

People do not care enough about this and will only use 1 profile going forward.

Sounds like a good way to lose additional business.

Kinda silly unless it's based on IP address. I have 4 accounts but none are used outside of the house.

That was my first thought as well. Punishes people with multiple children or roommates.

So people will just use one profile and be ok. Netflix is one of the Grandfathers of streaming and now the same company is bitching about something they helped create. A billion dollar company should adapt and overcome without pissing off it’s customer base or be bought out by some other billion dollar company.

If you own stock in Netflix, now would be a great time to sell.

Netflix will soon have the same ending as the company they destroyed, Blockbuster.

In other news, I'm now charging my extra accounts $9/month. Good thing dad got that 8% social security raise. Shouldn't have taught me about no free lunches, sucka.

It really does have almost entirely propaganda now as original content
There is essentially negative value to the service
