That greed almost fu*ked the whole company up

Netflix has deleted its new password sharing rules that were recently updated to discourage multiple people from using the same account.

According to Streamable, streaming giant Netflix has removed its new rules from the official website despite announcing the change only a few days ago. A Netflix spokesperson clarified that the new guidelines are not applicable to the United States yet. "For a brief time yesterday, a help center article containing information that is only applicable to Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru, went live in other countries," the spokesperson said, adding, "We have since updated it."

Further, the spokesperson also explained that the organization would not roll out such a major change without sharing all its details with customers first. In January, Netflix made an official announcement confirming that the password sharing crackdown would be implemented in the first half of 2023. The staggered rollout of the new rules began in many Latin American countries, in a bid to find suitable solutions before making it mandatory for the rest of the world. The streamer is aware that many users may cancel their subscription because of these measures, but estimates that they will increase revenue for the company in the long run.

People were quick to call out Netflix when the official domestic Help Center released new protocols outlining that all subscribers will soon have to verify their home devices every month to ensure uninterrupted service. Additionally, the guidelines specified that any device outside a household would be blocked by Netflix. The move was instantly criticized for being unnecessarily inconvenient, especially for those who travel frequently and for college students.

In an earlier announcement, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters commented on why multiple users share the same account, saying, "I think there’s a range of motivations for different borrowers. So some of it is economically driven and so a part of what we’re trying to do is that we are being responsive to that and finding the right price points, whether in terms of an individual account or an extra member affordance."

Peters also highlighted how the new system was specifically designed in response to users who were not paying for the service. According to Peters, the curb on password sharing will give this set of users "a nudge" to transition into creating their own account faster. Though the new password sharing rules are only being tested in select countries, they are expected to launch in many more regions by the end of March 2023.

Well that didn't last long lol

So many people were ready to cancel. I'd imagine thousands of people did actually cancel immediately

Stupid a*s corporate bi*ches

Hey lets set our country up into a stonk market where rich people get to shuffle money around all day and every company in the country has to be MORE AND MORE PROFITABLE every 4 months and the price of goods are continuously inflating with wages not changing

What could go wrong

I love Netflix.

I'm actually paying for mine and don't worry about money.

And their movies are so much better than any other streaming service.

Name One better than explain why it's better within a 5 body structure (note: you cant)

I think it was a misinterpretation.. I knew it wasn’t for the US.. You kind of had to look at multiple sources to figure it out.

I mean I agree corporations are greedy. But I really find it funny how people get upset that Netflix doesn’t want people to share passwords. What kind of absolutely fu*king idiotic business idea is it to just allow everybody to share passwords with eachother? If anything this is the consumers being greedy as fu*k and wanting everything for free.

Hey I pirate everything anyway so I ain’t talking sh*t. But find it hilarious that these greedy a*s consumers want to complain about Netflix making a logical business decision.

postemupndunkit said HBO Max was running laps around Netflix after tiger King.... What are you talking about?

HBO Max is imploding upon itself, very stupidly

fu*k these greedy bastards. These companies never have enough money. They always will want more and more.

Reed Hastings, co-CEO and chairman, is set to receive the same compensation package next year as he did in 2022, with a salary of $650,000 and stock options worth approximately $34 million

In the words of Bill Burr “How big does your fu*king yacht need to be!?!?!”

Good.

Every other service would've followed suit.

they fu*ked around and found out

Netflix has had like 4 hit shows since tiger king... n*gga what are you talking about?

It'll come to the U.S. eventually they are just testing the product to make sure it's as convenient as possible when rolled out for their biggest market. This isn't news tbh.

Crying a*s n*gga go start a multi billion dollar company that changes the face of a 100+ year old industry and you'd get $34Ms too.

lmao why isnt this thread doing numbers like the last one

Exactly

Why am I paying for 4 screens then

sh*ts been a*s anyway. I mainly just watch sports but pulled this and Amazon prime up yesterday because I wanted to watch something...scrolled through both for like 10 minutes and didn't find sh*t to watch

Is it a*s or are you just extremely picky /difficult ??

Why would they keep it anyway. The logical thing would be to just say fu*k it and allow password sharing. Netflix aint stupid LMAO. They dont have the leverage they used to and they know it. I can name atleast 5 or 10 HD link fetching sites off top that have all or at least most of the content Netflix does for free. Most sh*t is literally free now and accessible instantly.

You tug at a dog long enough and that mf just might bite. They were about to lose a sh*t ton of subscribers.

Been finessing Netflix since the DVD days.
Used to clone they disks for my bootleg masters. I think you could get 3 at a time I would get them back in the mail and get 9 disks a week. Once i downloaded that tommy Lee flick from lime wire it was a wrap. Then it was torrents. Netflix content been a*s for mad long. Didn't watch squid game or Ozark. Some of they lesser known flicks were pretty good.

All they need to do is allow for one video viewed at a time by any given subscriber. When a stream starts on one device, all other devices on that account should pause

I just said it's a*s
