    "Recently, my father called me in a panic.

    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

      note: I deleted my original comment cause the more I thought of it yea something is up.
