Yeah, we\u2019ll see how long that lasts! Netflix now confirms that it will crack down on password sharing early next year\u2014an extremely unpopular decision that could drive customers away.<\/p>\n<p>The news came during Netflix\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/s22.q4cdn.com\/959853165\/files\/doc_financials\/2022\/q3\/FINAL-Q3-22-Shareholder-Letter.pdf\">quarterly earnings call<\/a>\u00a0on October 18th, where the streaming giant toyed with the idea of cloud gaming\u00a0and boasted an uptick in subscribers (following a huge loss earlier this year).<\/p>\n<p>Netflix began testing an anti-password-sharing system in March of 2022. The experiment, which is currently limited to Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru, relies on a warning system. Customers caught sharing their password are asked to remove guests from their account or pay a small monthly fee (about $2). Obviously, people affected by this experiment are confused and upset.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFinally, we\u2019ve landed on a thoughtful <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach to monetize account sharing and we\u2019ll begin rolling this out more broadly starting in early 2023. After listening to consumer feedback, we are going to offer the ability for borrowers to transfer their Netflix profile into their own account, and for sharers to manage their devices more easily and to create sub-accounts (\u201cextra member\u201d), if they want to pay for family or friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We aren\u2019t sure how Netflix will roll out its anti-password-sharing policy. The company could push this nonsense globally, or simply add a few countries to the experiment.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Netflix suggests that its upcoming ad-supported plan\u00a0will keep customers happy amidst the password-sharing crackdown. We expect that the opposite will be true\u2014forcing customers toward an ad-supported plan will only add insult to injury. It doesn\u2019t help that the ad-supported plan has some\u00a0ridiculous limitations.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, we asked ourselves if Netflix is still worth using. The platform\u2019s excessive price hikes and careless attitude toward original content continually rubs viewers the wrong way. Putting an end to account sharing (and pushing customers toward an ad-supported plan) will not make customers happy.<\/p>\n<p>We expect rival streaming services to follow in Netflix\u2019s footsteps. Ad-supported streaming will soon become the norm, and password sharing is on its way out.\u00a0The fact that Adobe and other companies see \u201cpassword piracy\u201d as a business opportunity\u00a0is an unfortunate sign of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/s22.q4cdn.com\/959853165\/files\/doc_financials\/2022\/q3\/FINAL-Q3-22-Shareholder-Letter.pdf\">Netflix<\/a> via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/netflix-will-begin-charging-extra-user-fees-early-next-year-221450520.html\">Engadget<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
