No Password Share!

Streaming is the hot thing. Netflix knows that. But they are also looking for that extra income. Most people share accounts. I'd argue that it's nice to share one with family. And that's why the streaming giant is looking into password sharing and putting in potential countermeasures if there is any. I understand where they are coming from, but the costs are also a factor into getting one of these apps.

I believe Netflix is 14 dollars a month. A years worth with it unaltered would be nearly 170. Only HBO Max is more pricier, but it's a ten dollar difference if I remember correctly and more quality content. Original content is something to gravitate to, but there was the abundance of shows from prime time and cable networks. That is disappearing with the rise of these other apps that offer a lot for less costs. It's why they are hedging their bets on stuff like The Gray Man and whatever TV shows they believe can succeed.

It's an uphill climb for the competitors, though. Peacock lost nearly a billion according to a report. Who knows what Paramount Plus is going to do since we're a few months away from summer and potentially the end of the pandemic. Hulu is still around. HBO Max has some huge names, but that price may keep people away. Netflix still has reason to exist, but can it sustain itself over the next couple of years? I wouldn't say no immediately, but you never know if there is a huge drop off. Especially with the password sharing cracking down. They have to keep relevancy in their hands and make an extra effort to get and keep people going to their service. The market is finicky to guess. But don't think it will die out.
