Pool.surge.sh – Save 60-75% on Netflix, Spotify, and Apple Music
- robtkiller 10y agoExplain how this would be better than sharing an account with people you know IRL? Don't get me wrong sharing accounts is a great way to reduce cost. However I suspect most people are already doing this with their friends and family whom they trust to enter such an arrangement with.
- Operyl 10y agoEh, ignoring the TOS nightmare this would involve (iirc, Netflix and Spotify actively look out for this kind of stuff), how do you propose to solve the problem of someone "running off with the money?" That's something people have had trouble solving in the past.
- BryanBerkshaw 10y agoWe have two options, 1 social proof + reputation system - we connect people with real names and social media profiles, so there is a trust aspect between them. Or, we act as the 'admin' account for each pool. This is a bit harder logistically, and reduces the savings a bit, but the experience is much nicer - you just have to deal with us, not a group of strangers.
- Operyl 10y agoFurthermore, isn't Apple Music family sharing only allowed through the iTunes Family Account stuff? That requires sharing credit card information with everyone, no?
- johnhenry 10y agoSo the service in question, call it "pool" pays for another service, say Netflix, and then re-sells the same account to a number of different users at a lower price?
