For several months now, Netflix has been working on ending shared accounts once and for all.Or, at least, in discouraging its use through increasingly restrictive measures.ApplicationsPaid applicationsFree applicationsApps to download moviesRemote control appsTake temperature with your mobileApps for trainingPlay StoreThe company has already been testing different methods with which to limit this type of practice, including charging more to those who share their accounts with people who do not live in the same household.And, although the results of these tests were not entirely encouraging, the company does not seem to have any intention of giving up.In fact, as Netflix has announced through its official blog, given that the popular practice of sharing the same account with other people from other addresses "undermines its long-term ability to invest and improve the service", the tests will end soon, and free account sharing will no longer be possible.Netflix wants to end shared accounts once and for all "Houses" arrive on Spotify: this is how they workNetflix wants to end shared accounts once and for allThe company itself has announced that the measures will soon be expanded to a greater number of countries, including Argentina, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.These three regions are added to the others already existing: Costa Rica, Chile and Peru.In that sense, a new function within the platform called "Houses" has been announced.Netflix explains that each account may include an extra "House" at no additional cost, regardless of the contracted plan.Subsequently, it will be possible to add additional "Houses", which will have a price of about 3 euros, adjusted to the local currency of each country.Netflix "Houses" will allow you to share your account with other people, paying an extra fee.Netflix "Houses" will allow you to share your account with other people, paying an extra fee.They specify that, if you go on a trip, it will still be possible to use Netflix through your smartphone, tablet or PC.The management of the "Houses" function will be carried out from a new section within the platform, being able to add or remove houses at any time.At the moment, it has not been indicated when the rollout of this function will begin in the rest of the regions where Netflix officially operates.I'm afraid we'll have to wait until we see how it is received by users in those countries where it will be available initially.
