Netflix to charge for password sharing in 'early 2023'
Netflix has long been lamenting its users sharing accounts with people outside their households. The company's solution was to test out "monetize account sharing." In a letter with shareholders, it says it's going to charge for password sharing in early 2023. The test has been running in Costa Rica, Chile, and Peru, with Netflix allowing users to add two members for an additional fee of $2.99, 2,380 Chilean pesos, and 7.9 Peruvian sol, respectively, each per month. It hasn't said how much it plans to charge for other countries, but we're sure to hear more when the change approaches. You can now also transfer profiles of users to a new account if you don't want to pay extra.
