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.

        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.
