Do kids' profiles need their own email?

No. Netflix has exempted children's profiles from the requirement, so only adult profiles need a unique email address.

Can I opt out of the email requirement?

According to TechSpot, Netflix has confirmed the change is permanent, and users report there is no lasting opt-out for standard adult profiles.

How many profiles can a Netflix account have?

Netflix still allows up to five profiles per account, but each adult profile must now be tied to its own email.
