What does the Netflix message mean and what happens if I ignore it?

We are in a moment of change in the world of streaming, as different platforms are changing their prices, their catalogs or their strategies, and Netflix is ​​not far behind, since this service is willing to stop sharing accounts from part of its users, and for this reason it sends an alert message to its subscribers.

Many users of this streaming service in Mexico and Latin America are reporting on social networks that when they try to use the application, a message appears stating: “Netflix is ​​designed for you and the people who live with you. You can easily watch Netflix on any device, wherever you go. We’ll help you verify that this TV is connected to your home through Netflix.”

For some subscribers, this warning is not clear enough, since there are those who did not know about the changes made by the streaming giant, and what this message indicates is that Netflix no longer allows account sharing with users located outside the primary addressor profiles that use this service in other addresses.
