A couple of months ago I was sitting at my desk when the kids were asleep and was going to put some show on the second monitor while I was doing some boring admin. I open a Netflix tab on the same machine, same browser, same LAN, no VPN as I've been using for years, from the IP where likely 95% of our household Netflix traffic is requested.

I'm met with:

> Your device isn't part of the Netflix household for this account

> Not <my email here>? Create an account to enjoy your own Netflix today.

> Create an account

> Did we get it wrong? Watch temporarily until you're back on your Netflix household Wi- Fi, or sign out.

> Watch temporarily

> Sign out

Neither of the options actually worked to escape the bug(/feature?) either.

So that's when I cancelled my subscription after 8 years.
