Despite the negative responses about Netflix’s password-sharing rules, the streamer saw nearly 100,000 daily sign-ups, per Antenna.

    It’s a little buried in the account settings, but Netflix does allow account sharing for an additional fee (~$7?). I know families that went with this option so they could continue sharing their account with elderly parents, and college aged children.

    I imagine that if a group of friends agreed to split the cost of an account + fees, they would end up paying less than having individual accounts.
