Are there a bunch of dealings out there like: "Hey, can I use your Netflix password today from noon to one?" "Sorry, the only time slot I have left is 6am to 6:30".

My kids have said that their friends in college share logins/passwords freely. HBO, Starz, CBS All Access, Hulu, Prime, Netflix, and many others. Many dozens of people share the same password. If they go to log in, they'll occasionally get a "too many devices" notice, so they wait an hour to see if they can watch later when someone else has logged off. In the meantime, they've just logged another location on the Netflix server.
So, yes, this does happen. I would guess that the expensive services like HBO more often get shared than something cheap like Netflix.
