Mike Masnick ✅Kinda hoping that Netflix's new "we'll ban you if you watch the Netflix account you paid for outside of your home too much" story turns into a "New Coke"-style business school case study in how to do something totally stupid that pisses off your most loyal customers, and leads Netflix to reverse course quickly.
Kevin Hardiman@mmasnick wait - what? Isn’t this something their TOS allows?

Netflix hasn’t confirmed its plans to stop password sharing just yet
While Netflix hasn’t confirmed how it plans to crack down on password sharing in the US, a now-deleted support page indicates it could block devices that try to sign into an account that isn’t part of the account holder’s primary household.
@mmasnick this seems to be the crux of it: “Netflix says you must ‘connect to the Wi-Fi at your primary location, open the Netflix app or website, and watch something at least once every 31 days’ on the devices you and your household members use to watch Netflix, or else they’ll get blocked.”
