Netflix is planning to combat account sharing more than ever in 2023. Now they have revealed how they plan to ensure, that people stop using Netflix accounts together.
Netflix recently announced their plans, to further crack down on account sharing. What this means is that people won't be able to share accounts that easily anymore. So they're not only combating the leeches using one account for multiple people, but even shared accounts that are not living in the same house.

In the countries they tested this in the subaccount costed a few Dollars, but this might get more expensive when it actually releases.
It seems like Netflix is desperate to generate more revenue, but this might just backfire. People have been jumping ship even before Netflix pulled a stunt like this and now there are great alternatives like Disney+ and Amazon Prime. And if you're still doubting Amazon Prime, check out our review of The Rings of Power.
Netflix better be careful not to get too greedy.
On the other hand, if I don't have Netflix I can't get cursed by this movie:
