You can see a button on the screen that says 'Verify Later', so it looks like it's possible to skip this notification and continue using Netflix, but in that case, how much is this notification? It is unclear if it will be displayed at the frequency of.
In addition, it seems that the notification that encourages users who share an account to create their own account is only given to users who are watching Netflix on TV.
A survey of Netflix users found that 50% of users share accounts, so 'Netflix is a particularly loose service for account sharing,' 9to5Mac said. I'm pointing out.
