Netflix Password-Sharing Crackdown Will Roll Out Globally In 'Early 2023' (theverge.com) 77

Posted by BeauHD from the enjoy-it-while-it-lasts dept.
As part of Netflix's earning results today, which says the company reversed customer losses, Netflix plans to crack down on password sharing beginning in 2023. The Verge reports: After giving users the ability to transfer their profiles to new accounts last week, the streamer says it will start letting subscribers create sub-accounts starting next year in line with its plans to "monetize account sharing" more widely. [...] Earlier this year, Netflix reported losing subscribers for the first time in over 10 years, with the company's subscriber count dipping by another 1.3 million in the US and Canada and 1 million worldwide last quarter. To remedy this, Netflix has also been slowly nudging subscribers away from password sharing. The company conducted tests that prompted users in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru to pay extra for a sub-account if Netflix detected someone was using the owner's subscription outside of their household.

It also tried out a way for users in Argentina, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic to buy additional "homes" for accounts located outside of the subscriber's primary household. More recently, Netflix widely introduced a Profile Transfer tool that lets users easily transfer their personalized recommendations, viewing history, My List, saved games, and other settings to a new account after testing it in other countries. Last month, a report from Rest of World revealed frustration from users subject to the tests in Latin America. The earnings report (PDF) projects that the company's new ad-supported streaming service, which starts at $6.99 per month and launches in November, will help attract 4.5 million subscribers by year's end. This quarter it added 2.4 million subscribers and grew by 104,000 paid subscribers in the U.S. and Canada over the last three months, up from 73,000 in the same period last year.

        There, fixed it. I know it's subjective, but there's a whole lot of content on there that is basically crap. And even when there is something that the GP or I feel is worth watching, it's nearly impossible to discover on your own because of their algorithmically determined lists that seem to shove all the crap front and center in their UI. You basically have to get recommendations from outside the service and search for the good content by name.

          That's right. Put your foot down. Power to the man! You take that $7 and spend it on something else of better cost/value. I'm sure $7 will get you far. Almost 1/2 way through one movie in a theatre... or two cups of okay coffee.

        Agreed. As of writing this post I flipped over to my Netflix account and right there on my accounts home page a new Netflix original was being advertised to me that just dropped and I'm interested in watching. They've probably produce more original shows that I've legitimately enjoyed watching then any other streaming service in fact.

Most sci-fi on streaming is either space-opera, or bad horror with some flashing lights to get that sci-fi crowd. Oh, and the new category, actors & actresses as robots so they can skip the flashing lights and still get that sci-fi crowd. Now, comedy? Fleabag and Marvelous Mrs. Maysel slay, and I'd defy anyone to find funnier shows that manage to be female focused without going full-blown preachy about it.

          Hulu - Good originals sometimes. Reservation Dogs was shockingly good so far. Their imports they refer to as originals as well. Letterkenny and Shoresy are some of the best comedy of the modern age, if you don't mind Canadians making fun of Canadian tropes. Poking around their originals turns up more winners than duds still. Though with Disney holding the strings, it's questionable how long that'll last.

          Now, there's an argument to be made that HBO is fast eating itself since the WB takeover. Prime has Rings of Power right now, which is either a good thing or the most sacrilegious travesty in the history of the universe depending on your view of Tolkien and whether or not you can separate the original works from these newer derivative works. Hulu doesn't seem to have any big contenders at the moment outside of either comedy or dramedy that sometimes turns tragic. But I'd take any one of those three over Netflix today if it had to be a choice. Who knows if I'll feel that way next year?

      It used to have a pretty good selection. Particularly when it was DVD-based. But that started to die off, probably due to studios changing strategies in content distribution. Netflix had a feature where you could search for a DVD and if they didn't have it, they would acquire it. I still have a standing list and they were pretty good about adding content to their library if I didn't mind waiting. But now the availability on the remaining selections just says "Unknown". And that hasn't changed in a long time

      • Thanks for the reminder. I used to check our local library every few months for streaming options and was always disappointed. I just checked after reading your post and they have a free option for members where you can watch six movie titles or some number of TV episodes (based on time) per month. That's pretty rad for somebody just looking to catch the odd movie or show you can't find elsewhere. We'll have to check the selections this evening.

    This is like what Hulu tries to do and it, quite frankly, has become a shitshow. For example, when I try to watch Hulu away from home, I can do it fine using my phone, tablet, or computer. But if I try to watch it using a TV app or even a Firestick connected to a TV, it is subject to different restrictions for some reason. So when I watch Hulu on a TV while at work, I can do it with a dedicated computer hooked up to the TV but not with the apps on the TV itself. These random arbitrary restrictions are pointless and extremely anti-consumer. One thing that is for sure, is that content that is downloaded for free on the internet has none of these restrictions!

    • The apps get a long lived authentication token so you don't have to login every time, and they probably limit how many those can be issued at one time. Maybe delete old devices from your account?

      • No, I actually called and asked them about it. When you try to use Hulu on one of these devices (such as a TV app, or via Firestick, Roku, etc), it will ask you if you want to "change your home location". It allows you to do that 4 times per year max, and then you are stuck, so it's not something you can do every time you go back and forth between the office and home. If I changed my home location to the Office, then it would not be usable at home until it was changed it again. But... I can view hulu ju

    So, saying Netflix (or any other big streaming service, for that matter) has "no content" is, at the very least, a very arrogant thing to say...

  • I guess it really finally is time to hoist ye ol pirate flag.
  • Have fun trying to solve this "household" problem...Is that some christian midwest mom idea? I have a place where I live most of the time Then we have a room/flat in the city, where my partner lives I spend weekends in the mountains. And weeks of holidays over the world My kids sometime live with their mom, sometimes with me. Sometimes we access with WLAN, sometimes over Mobile Connections. I pay 25$ per month for 4 concurrent users and expect Netflix to fully support this usage pattern, without any hindra

    • You know, Netflix could have done themselves and the users a huge favor by simply updating their policy to cover concurrent users. Our house could get by with one fairly easily, as we only double-up about three times a year, and those three times? One of them will be both of us on Netflix. The other two will be one watching a favorite DVD or Bluray. But for bigger families, with kids, four seems reasonable and it really shouldn't matter to them where those four people are. If 4 concurrent is being paid for?

  • I think it's the recent corporate trend of always expecting profits to keep growing. Netflix hit some inevitable problems with new competition from other studios and increased difficulty of licensing existing stuff. Instead of adapting to this new reality though, some bright spark decided that, if they have less subscribers, but charge each one more, they'll be getting just as much money as before. Hurray! Then they were shocked to find that a lot of people started unsubscribing. So how do they deal with th

  • "I think you need to make an exception in my case. I'm keeping my top-tier subscription mostly because while I watch a few programs here and there, my retired mother uses it more. You can look at my logs and see we're not large consumers."

    "No exceptions. You'll need to add another "house" rider."

    "Okay, I'm out. Please cancel."

    "Wait..."

    Or maybe they'll hold firm. And I move on.

    • Also look at their "traveling" policy (quotes from the article). No more than two weeks in one location without a rider. So if I take a three week vacation (or I'm traveling for work), they expect me to pay more.
  • Its going to be interesting to see how Netflix handles this in terms of location and disconnected familiies. I'm divorced with a 17 year old and a 21 year old in another state. But I've also re-married and have a wife and kids here. So here locally I have a family with 3 iPhones, an iPad and 2 Apple TVs. The 17 year old lives with her Mom in another state and uses my Netflix account on her phone, Mac, iPad, and a Smart TV (the ex doesn't use it). My 21 year old is on her own (not living with her mom), but a

  • I am a password sharer. I share my password with my wife. My wife lives with me. She sometimes watches netflix on her own. It's only a matter of time before Netflix cuts one of us off, and i have a giant pain in the ass and waste of time fixing it. I might well fix it by cancelling netflix. At some point, it isn't worth the pita.

  • There will be a tsunami of cancellations. Netflix has some good content but the majority is fluff just like cable was. People really don't have to have netflix. Their niche was that they had some variery, they were cheaper than cable and you share across locations. If you can't share when you go on trips then I see the cancellations coming.
