Netflix expects some subscribers will react badly to the streamer's upcoming plans to stop password sꦅharing between multiple people.

"This wi✤ll not be a universally popular move," Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters candidly said during the company's 2022 fourth quarter earnings interview (via ).

Peters admits he expects a "bit of a c💦ancel reaction" to the new policy – which he describes as a "gentle nudge" 🌊for subscribers to pay more for those sharing accounts outside of their current household.

Netflix had 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:previously trialed its password sharing initiative in a handful of countries in ear🍸ly 2022.

Subscribers in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru could play a small discounted fee (ar꧒ound $3) to transfer profile information – such as viewing history &𝔉ndash; to a new account or sub-account.

A later report from confirmed plans for Netflix to roll out the change worldwide in 2023. It is claimed by Netflix that 100 million streamers use the service via borꦅrowed passwords.

The Wall Street Journal's report also suggests methods for how Netflix will crack down on password shariܫng, including sending a verification code to someone using another account and displaying prompts about password sharing until the main account holder pays a fee. No dates about the rollout have yet been confirmed.

This all comes on the back of Netflix announcing its 2023 movie lineup earlier this week. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A new trailer teases its biggest releases, including June's Extraction 2 and the long-awaited arrival of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon this December.
