As I said in my own comment: Their goal is to remove non-paying customers from their platform.
I never shared my account with anyone… I am the sole users and yet this policy would cost me money and issues! I travel way more than 2 weeks a year (in civilised countries like France I have 8 weeks of vacation a year)… plus I often visit my vacation home… don’t see why they should charge me for that (while I am on my vacation home there is nobody using Netflix at my place… there is always only one stream at a time)! So if they do put it in place where I live that can say goodbye to a very loyal customers (I subscribed 9 years ago)
Their goal is to monetize those users, even a fraction of them. Booting them from the platform doesn’t actually do them any good. They are effectively offering a large discount to account sharers.
