Netflix gains subscribers after cracking down on password sharing.
Daily sign-ups for Netflix in the US have surged since the streaming giant's password-sharing crackdown came into effect on May 23, according to data from research firm Antenna. Netflix's new rules allow US users to add a member outside of their homes for an additional fee of $8 per month. The company recorded nearly 100,000 daily sign-ups on both May 26 and May 27, exceeding levels seen during the initial US COVID-19 lockdowns in March and April 2020. The recent spike also exceeded the company's four largest days of US user acquisition in the 4-1/2 years that Antenna has been covering the company.
