It was good as long as it lasted. Although just a few hours ago Netflix updated its support page to indicate that it has reverted to its policy to avoid account sharing, now the same company has announced that it is moving the measure forward in four new countries.

The platform announced that from February 21 Spain, Canada, Portugal And New Zealand They will join Peru, Chile and Costa Rica and have tighter controls to prevent their account from being shared and, in case they do, pay extra for it.

Goodbye Netflix?

In accordance with Netflix”each account is for one house.”

Users will need to provide a primary location (home) for the account they use. Of course, the company guarantees that “as always, subscribers will be able to see Netflix on their personal devices or log in to another TV (for example, in a hotel or country house)”, although without specifying the details.

“Right now, more than 100 million households use their accounts, diminishing our ability to invest in creating great stories told through the highest quality TV shows and movies,” the company said in a statement.

If you don’t, you’ll have to add ‘additional members’, a feature that was originally tested in Peru, Chile, and Costa Rica.”

While in Peru it costs 8 soles for each additional member, in Spain it costs 6 euros per month per person.

User opt-out

Of course, internet users criticized the measure and indicated that once the model was imposed, they would stop paying for the subscription.
