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.
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).
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?

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