Thanks to the possibility of sharing an account on the Netflix service, the costs of the service are significantly reduced. So it’s no surprise that this subscription option is so popular. However, it seems that the website is starting to fight again with people who use it against the regulations.
Netflix asks you to confirm your email address
Although many people use shared Netflix accounts, probably few realize that this option is allowed only when the account is shared with people from one household. So if we do not live with someone – such a practice is against the regulations. Hence the notifications that you may have come across after logging into the website.
Netflix started displaying a request to confirm the e-mail address to make sure that we are actually legally using the account. It is not a complicated process in any way, even when we use the platform contrary to the regulations. Will there be any greater difficulties later that will actually make it impossible? Probably not. Netflix’s CEO, Reed Hastings, said some time ago that they had no intention of tightening their operations. This is a good move because the company realizes that a lot of subscribers would leave if they had to pay the full amount to access the site. Especially when the competition in the market is getting bigger.
So it’s worth remembering about it and not worrying about it, at least for now, apart from verifying the e-mail address, the platform does not take any stricter steps in this matter.
