Netflix Implements Paid Password Sharing and Crackdown in US and UK

Netflix is cracking down on password sharing in the US and UK, with account holders on the Standard and Premium plans having the option to add one or two people outside their household respectively, but at an extra cost of $7.99 per person per month. Account holders on the Basic or Standard with adverts plans don't have the option to add out-of-household members. Netflix has been testing the new sharing restrictions in Canada, New Zealand, Spain, and Portugal since the beginning of the year, and said in April that it was "pleased with the results."
