Netflix is testing new anti-account sharing measures on some users

[alimac]

In context: Account sharing is a common practice among Netflix users, but for obvious reasons, the streaming service has never been a big fan of it. Users who share accounts with friends and family practically eliminate the need for those people to subscribe with their own, separate profiles. This lost revenue is something Netflix hopes to combat soon.

At least, if a recent test it's working on pans out. According to GammaWire, Netflix is displaying a warning to some users who log in with accounts that aren't their own. The warning says "If you don't live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to keep watching."
