    It’s a little buried in the account settings, but Netflix does allow account sharing for an additional fee (~$7?). I know families that went with this option so they could continue sharing their account with elderly parents, and college aged children.

    I imagine that if a group of friends agreed to split the cost of an account + fees, they would end up paying less than having individual accounts.

      I was the Netflix payer of the house and found out the hard way there’s a cap on the amount of people you can add. I don’t have anything that can display 4k (my computer can’t even show more than 720p because I dare run Linux) so I picked the 1080p subscription. It turns out you can only add one extra person on that level. I can upgrade to 4k and add two people, but no more than that. I can’t say I’m too mad (the €4 additional subscriptions are already a good deal, I don’t think “pay for the services you use” is such a bad deal) but it’s less of a solution than it would seem at first glance.
