On Tuesday May 23, 2023, Netflix formalized the end of free password sharing in more than 100 countries, including France.
It’s fair game. On Tuesday May 23, through an email sent to its subscribers, Netflix made official the end of free password sharing in more than 100 countries, including France. In this message, the platform recalled the terms “to manage the use of your account“, among which the addition of an additional subscriber. “You can share your Netflix account with someone who doesn’t live with you for an extra $5.99 per month“, said the platform, which justified this new cost by the investments it is required to make to finance the creation of content.
“Who’s watching? Everyone who has our password”
A situation that amused its competitor, Amazon Prime Video. The UK version of the platform echoed a tweet from Netflix dated March 10, 2017, in which the streaming site wrote: “Love is sharing a password“, which means in French, “love is to share a password“.
Thus, the platform, which broadcasts the series “The Boys“, posted on Twitter a capture of the home page of his service, with several users of the same account. On this image, it is written: “Who is watching?“. And, in the profile suite, it is possible to read: “Everyone who has our password“. A nice publicity stunt from Amazon Prime Video. Hoping that it will not turn against her in a few years, if she decides one day to also charge for sharing her accounts.
The DNA platform, dedicated to anime, also tweeted in response to Netflix’s new policy. “Your DNA account is for you and the people you live with… or not. And yes, our account sharing is for everyone. Really everyone“, a écrit Animation Digital Network.
