I have an account for us, my parents and in-laws. It's barely worth it when split three ways, we're definitely not paying for three accounts for Netflix. I might as well set up a Plex installation and torrent a bunch of shows for them.

  Hmm, interesting proposal, though I think I'll pass for now because I have a NAS and a good connection at home, I think I'll use that for now. Did you already send me an email? Did I reply?

  This works with VPN's as well: I thought about finding 5 people to split a VPN sub with, because I only would ever use one device at a time. That brings it down to ~$1.19/mo which is a great deal. problem is coordinating that with everyone lol, probably best for each person to pay $15 up front to one person to essentially prepay for a year.

    Netflix is quite good at detecting VPNs.

      I'm referring to sharing a similar service to a seedbox, which is what OP was referring to. You don't really need a VPN for netflix anyway, unless you want a different country's library.

I already do both. Netflix has barely anything worth watching: it's mostly third-rate junk and only occasionally releases anything half-way interesting. Putting the squeeze on people for short-term profits just makes their service less cool for some spare change signals that they've given-up producing quality content fast enough.

  It depends on what you are watching. I like Asian and European cinema and shows. For me most of American/Hollywood stuff is third rate junk, including Marvel and american Comics stuff and in seldom occasions I want to watch it, I get it easier from VPN/P*bay than to subscribe to a lot of different services. If they will make me jump through hoops, I will return to the VPN/P. method.

    I've seen pretty much every good foreign film and series on Netflix. I use third-party apps that can filter by category and sort by ranking.

Netflix has a ton of content for only 17 bucks a month. It’s only not worth it when you contrast it against piracy, which obviously isn’t a fair comparison.

  I've already seen all the content that I like, their catalog doesn't seem to refresh that often or have that much stuff relevant to me. It's reached the point where, if I want to watch something, I don't even open Netflix any more. I'm mostly keeping the subscription in case my parents are watching anything.

I am shocked. There are so many things to watch that I regret not being able to watch more. Just in the last 2 weeks we have watched: Inception Prospect Batman begins and dark knight Moonlight That one about fake art Invictus Case 39 Icarus And probably a few more.

  Oh I've seen those years ago. I don't think they're available on our Netflix, though.
