My family shares our Netflix account. We live in different states, but all in the United States.
I used it yesterday and it was fine. But today it was not. I got the "you are not part of this household" message, with the three options being:
- make your own account
- make this location the household location
- I'm traveling
I watch a lot of random stuff, but mostly on different services. So, while it's kind of a bummer to uninstall Netflix, I have plenty of options. It's moreso just depressing that the enshittification has finally hit North America. Will probably see more of this stuff around on the internet soon, as I'm guessing I just got my number pulled before most people (which is doubly depressing since this we've had Netflix since like 2005 or something and were strong advocates of it when linear tv was still dominant - THAT'S CAPITALISM FOR YA!~)
I unsubscribed and haven't had Netflix since June 18. I wasn't personally affected by their policy change since the only people who used the account were myself and my husband, but I canceled on principle. After years of declining selection and price increases for basic features, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I have to say I don't miss it at all ... me hearties
Likewise I cancelled my sub in May when due to the constant price increases/declining quality compared to other services. But despite not sharing passwords since like 2010 I put “password sharing policy” in the comment box when cancelling
