The Netflix password sharing block is in force in the US, and if you're a subscriber hoping it'll be a disaster so the same feature doesn't come to the UK the news isn't good. According to figures given to the Wall Street Journal, Netflix US has seen a massive jump in new subscriptions since the block went into effect.
The crackdown is a reversal of Netflix's previous "love is sharing a password" approach (pictured above), which helped drive growth: now it's more interested in money, and the block on account sharing is designed to prevent people in different households from sharing the same account.
