I live in multiple places with each stay lasting about three months. So far Netflix has not given me shit about it. It just asks me if I want to movey home address. As long as it continues to let me move around, we're cool. The moment it decides that I have to open a separate account per home, I am out. I watch Paramount+ the most anyway.

EDIT: Honestly, the real conversation should be how mid Netflix original content is most of the time. Their best shit is stuff they import.

I have a similar lifestyle thanks to work and Netflix did exactly what will make you cancel. Whatever you do, don't set it up on your home smart TV because that's the thing that screwed up my account. Suddenly, I had to create new accounts for every random hotel I was living in for months at a time or go home every 30 days to reconnect to my home WiFi. I cancelled as soon as the account I paid for, that I didn't share outside my household suddenly stopped working. As an aside, I wonder how this effects other traveling people: truckers, military families, traveling nurses, or air crew.
