After the mega boom that trailed the long COVID months for Netflix, the streaming platform has had to endure a shaky year so far. The platform had to endure a huge subscriber exodus in the first quarter of 2022, partly due to the fact that fewer people were spending time at home. Since then the company has been mulling over initiatives that might help boost its subscribers once more. One of the tactics discussed was the ending of the password-sharing feature, and per The Wall Street Journal, the plan may well and truly be upon us in the very near future. The streamer intends to set up systems that will hinder subscribers from sharing their Netflix passwords with devices outside their homes unless they pay to do so.

 

I am aware this could impact some of our Members.

I can assure you that not all of us that elected to ditch Netflix did so because we were spending more time outside the home.  Some of us did it due to disgusting shows.

 

I think I shall have to add netflix (who tries weekly to get me to come back) to my blocked senders list.
