Netflix has been turning a blind eye to subscription posts for a long time, but it was recently announced that this “discount” has ended. Why is now unknown, but the post they’re writing makes it even more embarrassing.

Netflix is ​​already testing the new system in three markets to collect money from non-households who still share their account with the service provider. These three markets represent three countries in South America, namely Chile, Costa Rica and Peru.

The tightening came after account sharing became a part of the practice of many internet users. This in itself would not be a problem, but only if the subscriber shares the account with someone who lives in the same house – if the situation is completely different with someone who does not live with him, and it is also illegal.

Of course, the company has not always approached these situations in this way. In 2017, a few years ago, explicit password sharing was used. This was also confirmed by a post published on Twitter in English. If anything, it’s very old.

Today, however, another wind is blowing and the service provider – but only for the three markets – is starting to notify users playing the loophole. They were asked to do the same in all cases: sign up for their own account because it also helps them produce content.

Under austerity measures introduced in three South American countries, Netflix Standard and Premium packages will be able to create additional user accounts in return. The cost of this ranges from 7.9 solo in Peru to 2,380 pesos in Chile and $2.99 ​​in Costa Rica.
