Netflix is going to kill off password sharing

[Just Passin' By]

According to Netflix, over 100 million viewers currently access the service using passwords that they have obtained from other people, such as family members or friends. The company has announced that it will no longer allow this practice starting in 2023 and will require people who share accounts to pay for the privilege. It is expected that Netflix will begin implementing this change in the United States at the beginning of the year.

The End of Netflix Password Sharing Is Nigh

It was pretty half-assed for a while, where you could just bypass the question about it or call up the person who paid for the service and text them the QR code. And even now it'll still technically work, but they definitely got more obnoxious about telling you about it.

YTTV was the same way for over a year, it would ask if you were traveling and you could still share, but they just started cracking down as well... you can use it on mobile devices/laptops while "traveling," but you can no longer access it from a TV device/smart TV outside of your area.
