This move follows Netflix's account sharing crackdown in May, when the streaming service began charging an additional fee to share an account outside your household. The new policy was widely derided by users, however despite their grumbling it had the intended effect. Netflix saw a massive spike in subscriptions in the wake of its account sharing ban, with nearly 100,000 daily signups just days after the crackdown began.
