Yeah, same. Their plans included a number of active screens/supported devices a at a time. It seems pretty ridiculous to charge for the number of screens but then put restrictions on where those screens are.

And you need to get those active screens if you want 4K. You can't subscribe to a "one screen @ 4K" plan, you need the full-blown family plan.

If you don't want people sharing their login with people, then maybe sell them a single-seat 4K plan.

Too right. I only got the 4-person NF account for my elderly Dad. If he's out, I'm unsubscribing and going back to the high seas for their content. What a shame - four years ago was truly the golden age.
Yep, paying $20/mo specifically to be able to play on 3 devices. If they stop allowing sharing, there is little to no value in that plan for me anymore.
You can choose one of the cheaper plans right? For instance Basic is $6.99 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926
Yeah, if you like being stuck with TV that looks like what we got in 2004.

Netflix should stop whining about account sharing when they demand I pay for two screens to get minimally acceptable TV, but can only use one per their terms.

It's $15.50 if you want actual HD, and $20 for 4k.
Basic with ads is $6.99. Basic is $9.99.
Yep. So $9.99 vs. $19.99. So you could spend $10 less!
