While I'm not particularly happy about the change it's not password sharing being banned that will eventually get me off Netflix. For now what keeps the sub going is their good and varied kids show selection with a lot of edutainment. Something I feel the others desperately lack. And any parent who has ever tried sailing the seas instead of paying knows how much of a pain in the ass it is to find good kids content and enough of it to guarantee you have something available when it's desperately needed to make the day work. Especially when your mother tongue isn't English. And YouTube is mind cancer for kids in my firm opinion; if you don't sit and watch with your kids which defeats the purpose of screens as a tool for when you need to cook, clean and work.

The people who shared our sub were mostly family that when we started sharing were students without the means to reasonably pay for it themselves but now they have jobs and some even kids so our family has gone from 1 sub to 3 that I know of.

Same here. My children, mainly my daughter, use Netflix MUCH more than my wife and I. So the "just pirate the stuff" doesn´t really apply. If I want to see a specific movie or series, sure. But my kids don´t even watch with the intention of finishing a series or whatever. They browse and watch what catches their eye. That can´t be easily done with pirated stuff. And for me and my wife, it´s kinda similar. We don´t have the time or interrest to watch that many movies. Most of the time, we have like an hour to spare, we plop down on the couch, browse through what new cooking or duocumentaries there are and just watch something.

Now, at the moment, we still use a friends account. Seems like the "Kids" profile still works and on mobile everything still works fine. But as soon as that´s over, I can´t promise that I won´t have to get my own account...as much as it saddens me.
