AUGUSTA, GA. (WRDW/WAGT) – Netflix has had a hard time in 2022, and the big company says it is announcing some of its subscribers if they share their accounts and passwords with outsiders. their homes, they have to pay an additional fee.
A few years ago, Netflix made it clear that it doesn’t care if you share your story with someone else, but that’s changing.
Netflix is offering something called “extra houses” to customers in other countries.
Here’s how it will work: Netflix will be allowed to stream under plans only within the family on which it is paid.
If someone signs up to that account from somewhere else, the account holder will be charged for “additional housing” which will cost an additional $ 3 per month for each “additional housing”. .
The surcharge will be added to the cost of the plan already paid by the subscriber. Subscribers outside the U.S. who receive emails outside of the plan, said it will identify the center by its IP address and device IDs.
To contact people who use their Netflix information while on vacation, Netflix says it will be fine for two weeks if it hasn’t used that address for more than once a year.
After two weeks, the show continues, and the TV will be blocked until the subscriber pays for the “extra house”. Netflix has also added a line for all subscribers that when creating a new user on an account, it must be for people to live with you.
What’s not about the new plan is people watching Netflix from a coffee shop they visit often or their office although it may be covered if you use a device that you use frequently in the house.
The revelation is very vague in many of the questions that contributors will ask. According to ars Technica, the information went to Netflix subscribers in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru, and Netflix said it would review the app before making changes to other countries.
This change will affect families sharing their Netflix stories with their children who are in college or living alone. Netflix clearly expects people who are currently using another Netflix user’s website to sign up and pay their own accounts.
Netflix has also announced that it will introduce a lower price tag that will include ads during shows and movies.
Netflix expects to further reveal its plans for the future in a Q2 earnings report.
