You'll basically have to prove you're traveling and reconnect to your home internet (which you'll choose and set) within 31 days. Netflix then confirms whether the device ID and the IP address are appropriately associated to avoid blocking those users. This is going to be annoying at hell for people who legitimately watch while commuting/traveling, stream at school or work, other households etc. but I think the biggest thing that this benefits for Netflix is clearing out hackers that get into other people's account.
The issue that many people have is that Netflix isn't really as good as it used to be and many are paying more to use it less. That's why people were sharing so that it made sense for when they occasionally wanted to watch something.
Sharing wise, I think it won't stop too many people if it's $8 per month. $2 maybe I'd pay it, but not $8. Especially when there's VPN fixes or buying 4K Apple TV, Roku, Fire stick etc. and "traveling", then logging in at home every 31 days is a much more cost effective approach to spawning new users on Hi definition vs standard/low definition ($21 per month).
