My mom doesn't know how sign up for Neflix, so she's been using my account on her phone for a long time. I only keep the subscription because she uses it, I would have cancelled long ago if it was up to me. I doubt I'm the only one that will just cancel if Netflix stops account sharing, and my mom won't sign up if she has to pay a subscription.
- tptacek 4y agoThat's perfectly fine. If your household isn't using Netflix, you should cancel it.
- dandellion 4y agoI use it a couple of times a year, the reason I keep it is that my mom likes it, so I'd prefer to keep the status quo going, but if Netflix changes it I probably should cancel it, yes.
- andsoitis 4y agoYou can just do the sign up for her, no?
- dandellion 4y agoLike I said, I'm sure she will not want to pay for Netflix herself, and while I wouldn't mind paying it for her if she'll use it, she probably won't like that either. Part of the reason she's OK with me paying is that she thinks I'd be paying for it anyway and she's just tagging along, but I'm not getting nearly enough value out of it to pay for it, even less to pay for two accounts. I could sign her up without telling her, but I'd rather not. Maybe I'll stop using the account altogether so only my mom is using it and hopefully that doesn't trigger the monthly check-ins for her, but if it does I'll probably just unsubscribe and look for something more convenient.
- smugma 4y agoMillions will cancel. Their hope is more will join. If it doesn’t work, they will roll back (and apologize), as they did with Flixter/Quikster/DVDs a decade+ ago.
- brokenmachine 4y agoIf we degrade the service, surely more will join!! Makes perfect sense...
