The company will roll out tactics to mitigate password sharing in 2024. While Iger said Disney should see some effects from the rollout in 2024, the initiatives to prevent password sharing won’t be completed next year.

    I know we all PW share, but I have no moral argument why we should be able to PW share. Never understood why so many people get pissed off about these crackdowns. Good TV is kind of expensive to make.

    Edit: in this thread, people that don’t understand the economics of TV and media.

        It’s the same as with youtube premium - do I need another music service? No, I just don’t want to have no ads (I don’t have it, just an example).

        They just bloat up the package with stuff, so it looks like it’s much and is of “value”, when you are actually paying for a lot of stuff you don’t want/need… but of course they charge you for all of it.

            Pricing is an aggregate use case for scale. Generally you don’t want to have an overwhelming number of combos in your rate a price cards. It creates hard to market pricing and confusion for customers. And it causes a lot of challenges and confusion when pricing needs to change. So you offer a finite number of tiers that on aggregate cover the true cost and margin of profit needed. I think what most folks dont realize is a lot of streaming services currently operate a loss because they have to be so competitively priced. And cord cutting on cable where TV companies could rely on bundles puts streaming services in a direct to consumer model in a vice grip of pressure.

              If they operate at a loss that’s their problem not mine!

              And if they then lose customers by increasing the price, or limiting the service that’s part of the game.

              I have no sympathy for the media companies, they have always been grabbing money and overpricing everything.

          Nah fuck that. I paid for 4 screens so 4 people could use it. They took away my ability to give it to 4 people so Instead of reducing my service back to 1 screen I just didn’t need Netflix anymore.

          My elderly in-laws will never sign up for it, so Netflix lost it all and gained nothing.

      That argument would work if most of the media companies profits went to the people who worked on the show and not billionaire executives

      1- If I’m paying to stream on more than 1 TV, I should get to choose which tv.

      2- Disney makes billions, if not trillions, of dollars a year… their tv sucks.

      Streaming only makes sense financially when a household can share one account, if they start forcing people to have an account per device or per person they will end up losing customers.
