Netflix knows we share the password - and it wants to stop it

It is a common secret that each subscriber of Netflix can share its staff code with four other people. And of course the platform he knows and knows that we do not do it in our home with our family members alone.

Lately, the platform has been working on how to continue to have access to it outside our home, but "paying a little more", which means the end of the code sharing.

Over the next two weeks, Netflix will test two new features in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, called "Extra Member" and "Profile Transfer".

Over the next two weeks, Netflix will test two new features in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, called "Extra Member" and "Profile Transfer".

With the "Extra Member", each subscriber will be able to add up to two users outside his home. These extra members will have to pay a subscription, but much lower than the regular one, which is about $ 3. Netflix will not count these additional members in its total subscribers.

The "Profile Transfer" will allow subscribers to transfer their full history to a new account they will create, for a fee of course.

Netflix explained that it allowed each subscriber to have multiple accounts, but only within the same home, and this eventually created "confusion" as the accounts were shared across different homes.

This of course was known from the beginning, but the platform did not see it. But now that it has reached 222 million subscribers, it is working on new ways to raise more money.
