This sounds like a terrible idea
Netflix's new password-sharing rule: Every 31 days your device must log in on your home network — or it will be blocked.

not saying i'm the majority, but there are folks like me who signed up when netflix was hot in 2012-2016, and only kept it because of the family members who use netflix regularly. i'm happy to turn this shyt off and re-subscribe for a month when stranger things comes back

That would actually piss me off.
Use folks account. Wont be signing up
No doubt, but it will curb a large chunk of users abusing the sharing so it will work to an extent.
I'm sure they've crunched the numbers on the ROI of doing this.
Changing devices?
I thought they'd do it with IPs where you couldn't have the same main account or sub accounts logged into different IPs at the same time.
For me, just lock it to 'X' amount of devices depending on the tier. They already prevent you from having too many streams simultaneously. A device limit would prevent the password abuse while still allowing people to use the service wherever they want. All this shyt is gonna do now is inconvenience people who don't even do password sharing like that.
If I'm paying $20 a month for a streaming service, I don't want to have to jump through hoops to access it while I'm traveling

All this time and energy spent of how to prevent shared accounts, rather than actually building quality content

its both.. IP address from your primary account / device .. anything that doesnt come from the same IP address will require a 2-step verification that will give that device 7 days of usage
they outta line...
