My family shares our Netflix account. We live in different states, but all in the United States.

I used it yesterday and it was fine. But today it was not. I got the "you are not part of this household" message, with the three options being:

  1. make your own account
  2. make this location the household location
  3. I'm traveling

I watch a lot of random stuff, but mostly on different services. So, while it's kind of a bummer to uninstall Netflix, I have plenty of options. It's moreso just depressing that the enshittification has finally hit North America. Will probably see more of this stuff around on the internet soon, as I'm guessing I just got my number pulled before most people (which is doubly depressing since this we've had Netflix since like 2005 or something and were strong advocates of it when linear tv was still dominant - THAT'S CAPITALISM FOR YA!~)

Hmm. I'm actually probably not a guy that is well versed in that kind of thing. Are you talking about sharing your "extended library checkouts"? I don't really use peer-to-peer networks except for downloading actual Linux ISOs. Like the meme except earnestly. I don't really feel like pissing off my ISP.

If you're talking about video you create and have the rights to... PeerTube might be a good way to get your stuff out there. It is a federated/peer-to-peer video sharing server. There are major instances you can use, and you could also host your own server and publish your work there and then let it federate out to the other PeerTube instances.
