I have cars with headrest monitors with netflix for my kids. What am I supposed to do, pay for extra subcriptions for my family use? Nonsense.

    I wonder how hard it would be to write an app that could log into your Netflix account and pass through different device id's.

    Then all you would have to do is figure out all your device id's and load them into the app. Then run the app on a 30 day schedule from a computer connected to your primary WiFi network and it could sign in and out.

    I thought the Kodi Netflix plugin allowed you to change your device id to anything already.

              So your saying that you don't care that we pay 24 bucks a month from X users in Canada and now we can't share our accounts with our parents or kids that don't live in the same household?

              We have options:
              Flixtor.to , amazon prime, disney+, they are all cheaper options then you.

              Your 700 bucks per share peak netflix you can kiss that goodbye forever.

              You realize we only have access to Canadian Netflix for 24 bucks a month which is a ripoff. If it was 24 bucks a month to have access to both the Canadian and American Netflix content it would be OK but on top of that you won't let us watch it if it's a different household.

              So your saying don't split up parents or else it will cost you more for Netflix for your kids lol what kind of business school did you go to ? Loser school of business

                    SShock, 03 Feb 2023You seem to care awful lot...So you think that when you post a stupid comment and people call you out on it, they care a lot about you? People come to comment sections to read, post, and reply to comments. That's simply what they do. You seem to be very desperate to get attention.

They pay no attention to some random person, though. That guy seems to think that he's special, and the company pays attention to him. That's not the case.

                            ...the spokesperson also explained that the organization would not roll out such a major change without sharing all its details with customers first.

                                        The people at netflix who created the pricing plan really not planning ahead. Now they blame users for taking advantage of the loophole while they should reflect to their (netflix's) own error, and should rethink their whole pricing plan. Also, they should apply that new rule to new users only since the loophole is not current user's fault.
                                        Just add a price tier for single device with 4K/HDR at a third or half the price for the current 4-devices tier, and I'll gladly pay for that.
