Do you share your streaming service password(s)?

[bwana]

According to reports some streaming services are cracking down on those subscribers who share their accounts with people outside their households. Are you one of those who may be impacted by their efforts? Do you share, or have shared with you, your streaming service password(s)?

I ain't saying nuthin.

I don't believe in leachers.

Use someone else's "x" service 'cos they don't use it themselves, too expensive for them to stream on the farm they're on. I think that's fair.

My dad is a prime member but doesn't use the streaming service, so he shares that with me. Not that I use it often but I'm the only one who does. We also share a Hulu bundle - I get Hulu and Disney, he gets ESPN.

EDIT: so that's a firm yes we share for me.

Not everyone is rich, so I share with those in need....

Plex FTW

Yes as I believe the streaming companies definition of family in the digital age is wrong. If my account is for so many concurrent connections it shouldn't matter from where they are streaming as long as it isn't more then the allowed connections.

 

[Cius]

Yep. My bro in law shares his Netlfix password with me and I pay half back to him.

Each member of my family pays for a particular streaming service and we share them all

Same, and if I can't do that anymore then I'll just subscribe and cancel between all of them as I see fit. Don't see the point in me paying to be subscribed to all at the same time if it's only for me.

 

[TelkomUseless]

Yes with my kids (living with their mother). And I pay for 4 streams, so i use them.

 

[Itsa Trap]

Within the household, yes since the services are mostly on my media box, but some the rest of the fam needs to stream to casting devices. I've laid down the law about passing those passwords on to anyone else, and I do monitor connected devices on my acc's.

 

[OhYeah84]

Netflix, yes because I have that 2 screens bundle.
And we share a family member's DStv streaming capability (they have a decoder) for rugby and cricket.

If each profile had its own password then I would have considered sharing mine with my sister's family. But no way I am allowing anybody to accidentally use my profile and mess up my progress and recommendations! Or spy on what I watch (erm.. I did watch a couple of episodes of The Good Doctor in a moment of weakness, and I don't want to be judged!)

The Neftlix profile means that anyone who uses their profile doesn't mess around with what we have watched.

Family of four, five connections, Netflix owes us since we're not even using up all the connections we're paying for..

 

[elf_lord_ZC5]

When I had Netflix I paid for two connections, my Wife used one, and my Son the other. Now Netflix has 2 connections they can sell elsewhere.

And no, my Son has not gone and got himself a Netflix subscription.

With Amazon Prime Video, and Britbox, the same arrangement exists. Even tho, they offer 5 connections, only 2 get used.

I mostly watch IPTV, or stream from my local network.

 

[AstroTurf]

Netflix standard, FIL has one account, I have the other.

YTP is self, wife, kids and my sisters.
