    United States: The streaming giant Netflix has announced that it has added nearly six million new paid subscribers after a crackdown on password sharing.

    That number of subscribers was bigger than expected and it follows efforts by the company to re-ignite growth following unusual subscriber losses last spring, as per the statement. Netflix is also facing challenges from ongoing strikes in the US by writers and actors.

    Netflix has expanded its paid sharing initiative, aimed at curbing account sharing for free, to over 100 countries after commencing its widespread implementation earlier this year. The company reported that revenue in these regions has now surpassed pre-launch levels, and it is already witnessing more sign-ups than cancellations.

    Since the onset of the pandemic, Netflix has faced a significant deceleration in its growth, grappling with intensified competition, increasing household expenses, and reaching what analysts perceive as saturation in some major markets. In the first half of the previous year, the company experienced a drop of approximately 1 million accounts. Although it managed to recover from those losses later on, the decline served as a wake-up call for the company, prompting it to take urgent measures to reinforce its growth prospects.

    As a result of the industry’s largest walkout in six decades, Netflix has announced that it will be spending less on content this year than initially anticipated. Mr. Ted Sarandos, the company’s boss, emphasized the importance of resolving the strike swiftly, stating, “we need to bring this strike to a conclusion.”

    “This strike is not an outcome that we wanted,” the head stated. Mr. Ted said the company was committed to reaching an “equitable” agreement that helped the industry move into the future.
