Netflix has seen a boom in subscribers following its crackdown on account sharing – with the platform bringing in 5.9 million new users since introducing ads and fees for account sharing
A controversial crackdown on account sharing seems to have paid off for streaming giant Netflix-as it’s managed to attract millions of new subscribers.
The firm has reportedly seen more than 5.9 million new users sign up to its platform since March.
It’s not clear exactly how many of those joined as a direct result of the account sharing measures, which instructed users to sign up for a subscription of their own or pay an additional fee to share their account outside their household.
