At this point 80% of the reason I still have a Netflix subscription is to share my password with my parents.

Same, rarely watch myself, but they got pissed when I cancelled it.

In the 1990s some homes would have several screens of cable TV, so several people in the same home could watch different things at the same time. Parents with teenage children, for example. Because of the physical cables it only worked in one home - when the kids moved out, they had to pay for their own cable or go without.

Netflix presumably hopes to achieve the same thing: Letting kids share their parents' accounts before they leave home, but not after.

Yes, this very much bothers me. You pay for streaming. How many streams do you want? Well, pay Netflix for that number. However you like to use those streams is up to you.

Kinda crazy that using the number of streams you are paying for is now considered getting netflix for free.

Obviously that's just for one person watching different things on their TV, computer and phone simultaneously. /s
