Netflix Password-Sharing Crackdown Coming In Early 2023 -- Here's What To Expect
The days of sharing a Netflix account for free seem to be coming to an end. Netflix said during its latest earnings report that, starting in early 2023, sharing a Netflix account will incur an additional fee. Netflix management said it came up with a «thoughtful approach to monetize account-sharing,» and this will roll out to more users next year following its pilot test phase in some regions.
The full details of this plan are unknown at this stage, so there is no word yet on what it will cost or other particulars. Netflix did confirm, however, that a profile transfer feature is coming as well. If you have a profile on, say, your parents membership, you'll be able to transfer that profile to your own new paid account. Or, if the Netflix subscriber in your life that has been allowing you onto their plan is generous enough, they'll be able to create a «sub-account» to keep paying for that profile to stay active. Again, however, the fee was not disclosed.
