There were just a few minutes until Netflix would start streaming a live MMA event, and he couldn’t get into my account. For a while, he had accessed Netflix as an add-on member with his own profile through my household’s account. That day, however, he was logged out and couldn’t use my login credentials to watch Netflix. Instead, he saw a prompt asking him to “add an email address to your profile” to continue."
But isn’t this account sharing? I thought they’d been “cracking down” on this for some time now. Paid extra account or not, I thought their policy was one account per household?
Actually the more I think of it, yea something isn’t adding up here. An extra member would have had their own username and profile anyway, so they wouldn’t be using the owners account email and password
They are either are not actually using the “extra member” feature, or they are using the feature, but not the correct account for it.
I’m leaning torwards the second option, I bet they added him as an extra member, which is why they used the term addon member, but then didn’t realize that that process sends an email to have him set up his own account, and just gave him the owners account email and password with his own local profile.
The sad part of that is, if that was what they were doing, they were spending that extra a month, without actually using that feature.
