If I pay for a family plan, I expect to be able to share my plan with my family...even if they don't live with me. Thats what the family plan is for, and why most people buy it. If I can't share my account, why should I pay for a family account at all?
- Pet_Ant 4y agoI mean I think it's quite clear that the family plan meant a co-located nuclear family. This was clear to me even though I share my girls 50/50 with my ex-husband so I really don't benefit from this at all because whose account should they use on their iPads, mine or his?
- SpliffnCola 4y agoI live on the same property as my parents in a separate house with separate internet connections. Their house is less than 30 feet from me. We share the same physical address. Yet according to Netflix, this would not count as family sharing because of our separate internet lines.
- danjoredd 4y agoI mean, you are paying for multiple screens, not multiple IP addresses. Thats what it says on the signup screen. A lot of people, myself included, took that to believe that you are essentially paying for your parents/brother/cousin/whatever's netflix account alongside your own. If I can't show my brother "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" when I visit despite paying for an extra screen, and he is the only other person on my account, I have essentially wasted my money. I might as well illegally download it to show it to him. IRL I mostly used Netflix to watch things alongside my brother. I have the account and he has the TV. Sometimes I want to watch things on my computer, but sometimes I want to go over to his place and watch something with him. He lives on the building complex next to mine, so its less than a five minute walk if I want to show him something. I should have the option of doing that if I paid specifically to do that.
