Why not offer a family sharing option you can pay for?

Why do the options have to be taking things away or making it more inconvenient?

In some countries I believe they have add-on memberships where people can get an extra login for $3 a month. But Netflix already kind of has that (there are plans that allow four screens going simultaneously), and it's clearly not working for them because most of the people sharing passwords/profiles aren't immediate family.

Nothing says they have to restrict it to family members. They could let you buy extra "licenses" like other software companies do.

That would make a lot more sense than NetflixтАЩs current decision. I think a lot of people would be happy to pay for a family sharing option. I know I would! And there is simply no way my technology challenged 88 year old father is going to set up his own Netflix account, but I would be happy to pay Netflix a bit more money to allow him to stay on my account (which requires no additional set up on his part).
