Netflix recently clamped down on password sharing and this has been met with considerable backlash from the subscribers who have been sharing their accounts with users outside their household.
Netflix's stance on password sharing has changed from making it one of its selling points years ago to culminating in the current policy of charging for additional users beyond a primary household. This move has sparked outrage among users, some of whom have been subscribers for over 20 years, leading to the cancellation of their accounts. Critics argue that the crackdown is "anti-family" and that it complicates access to the streaming service, undermining its value.
Complaints about the platform aren't limited to its password-sharing policy. Most have expressed frustration with abrupt cancelations of original shows and an overall lack of updated content.
To further complicate matters, Netflix is one of the most expensive streaming services at the moment, raising questions about the value it offers compared to its competition.
Netflix's new policy may have severe repercussions on its user base. Although Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters acknowledged the expected "cancel reaction" in response to the policy change, we doubt it will be okay to lose so many subscribers with no new ones coming.
