Sharing Your Password? Streaming Services Really Want You To Stop
Streaming services are trying to crack down on the people who are sharing their passwords with others for access to the services.
A few weeks ago, Netflix did a trial to discourage the use of anyone who was using a shared password.
A pop up message appeared on the screen and read “If you don’t live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to keep watching”.
Additionally to confirm it was their account, they were sent a code to either their email or text message.
According to research, people sharing their passwords is causing a revenue loss in the billions to streaming services, in turn could cause an increase in services.
If you got the pop up message and didn’t respond in the proper amount of time you have officially been warned. I know its tough trust me we all looking for the MVP that lets us borrow the passcode but the red flag is they are on to this and trying to put a complete stop to it.
Have you shared your streaming service password to anyone? Are you using someone else’s streaming password?
