google has the same thing - purchase approvals so your kids can only request to purchase stuff, not actually purchase it
Then couldn't account sharers use the same trick?

This was a great show I can't say enough about. It really mad me laugh out loud far more than any other show in recent memory. (And in the end, if I recall, both groups of writers learned that the other was actually pretty decent at their jobs and had a lot of good ideas.) Unfortunately, it didn't do spectacularly in the ratings and was immediately canceled. I seriously hope someone else picks it up, but I don't know…
I've never seen the show but it sounds good and reviews were decent. Given that it was killed off after one season, is it still worth the watch? Does it end well?

What kind of woke crap? I don't really understand the definition, but that's because it is US identity politics and nobody wants to define it apparently. But maybe from afar you have a particular definition?
I get the US woke vibes from TV commercials. Plenty of black people on TV, but over here the US style black are a very small minority. I see much more black people on TV than in reality. Meanwhile, the Turkish/Morrocan/Islamish people are mostly absent in the commercials, even if 10% of the local people have that background. Apart from that, it all somehow feels fake and USA. It's hard to define, but everything is su…
It makes me a bit disgusting when it's so obvious and somehow it's like many, many companies colludes to spread this image. It's shit like that which makes conspiracy theories seem less like theories.
Netflix: ”You get two parallel streams with your family. Family means trust and password sharing.“ Customers: “Farewell pirating. We pay a fair flat and it is automatically shared between Netflix and artists. Great!“ Netflix: “We increase the flat permanently. And we have now competitors and doesn’t over anymore all relevant content (e.g. Star Trek Picard, Expanse, Disney). How about ruining it and blocking family me…
> I wouldn’t be surprised if artists (filmmakers, musicians…) create a common fair streaming platform. Let us name it “United Artists“ ;) That falls under > And we have now competitors and doesn’t over anymore all relevant content The core problem is basically owners of IP all wanting to build walled gardens to distribute them (and get all of the cut), instead of just going "pay us X per view, regardless of who you a…
Exclusivity does not serve the customer.
Everyone getting angry at Netflix but not the real source of all the problems; the suit&tie media execs who are forcing these companies to shake their hands for exclusive deals, and pocketing fat wads of cash from these contracts. Even before streaming, this has always been an issue and it ties in with the ludicrous amounts of money paid to movie stars, the cost of which is carried onto us consumers; and yet people b…
> do people even think at all? No, they don't. Man is smart, people are dumb. That said, actors get paid because they employ good negotiators. RDJ took a huge risk pinning a great deal of his career on the Marvel movies back when it was a very niche movie, much like Sir Alec Guinness did with Star Wars. That said, some of the amounts entertainers make is absurd - top athletes make stupid money too, but at least their…
But yeah you're right, it really comes down to consumers and they way that we consume. If people are willing to pay $15 for a movie ticket then companies will charge $20 and people are oblivious to the fact that it could cost $1.

They would have no way of knowing if your wife or you are using your wife's account, so of course it doesn't include that. Why would you need to clarify that? They don't have spyware turning on your camera for facial recognition lol
Streaming platforms absolutely know who is watching. Sometimes it's because they have profiles you can set up, but that data can also come from people watching shows on their own phones/tablets/laptops, what shows they watch, and the hours that they watch them.
