Netflix Loses A Million Subscribers In Spain After Greedy Password Sharing
Crackdown

[22]Failures

from the from-innovative-disruptor-to-ordinary-bore dept

Tue, May 2nd 2023 05:32am - [23]Karl Bode

We’ve noted repeatedly how Netflix’s password sharing crackdown is a
[24]stupid cash grab that alienates and annoys loyal customers,
[25]duplicates existing efforts to restrict “freeloaders,” won’t
[26]give the company the financial windfall it thinks, and just
generally represents how the company has inevitably shifted from
innovative disruptor to the kind of [27]tone deaf cable giants it used
to criticize.

The plan basically involves charging users an extra $2-$3 a month if
it’s found that someone is using your account outside of your home. The
problem: Netflix has already been imposing blanket price hikes, and it
already limits the number of simultaneously streams per account,
forcing users to subscribe to more expensive tiers if they want to
expand the limit.

While the crackdown isn’t expected to hit U.S. subscribers until the
end of the second quarter (aka soon), the effort has generally been a
hot mess in the smaller countries Netflix first used as guinea pigs to
test both the underlying tech and company messaging.

The company had to suspend the efforts in countries like Argentina, El
Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic, after users
[28]were equal parts befuddled and annoyed. And in Spain, estimates are
that the company [29]saw a defection of more than one million
subscribers largely due to the higher, unnecessary fees:

“There are of course inherent risks with clamping down on password
sharing, particularly when back in 2017 Netflix was seen to be
actively encouraging it. Some users were expected to be lost in the
process but losing over 1 million users in a little over a month has
major implications for Netflix and whether it decides to continue
with its crackdown globally.

Interestingly, there is no strong demographic skew to those who
cancelled, signaling a more outright rejection of the password
sharing clampdown. In a worrying sign for the next quarter, 10% of
remaining Netflix subscribers say they plan to cancel their plan in
Q2 2023, which is well above the average seen in previous quarters.”

It’s just blanketly stupid to impose annoying and costly new
restrictions at a time when streaming competition has become more
heated than ever. Netflix’s competitors can now simply gain a
competitive advantage by being less confusing and annoying on pricing
and account restrictions.

I don’t expect it to be fatal, but it sure as hell won’t help the
company maintain leadership in an increasingly competitive and crowded
field. Meanwhile, some analysts say Netflix’s predictions that it will
be a boon for revenues [30]simply aren’t based in reality:

Benchmark Co. analyst Matthew Harrigan, in a note last week,
expressed skepticism that it would be a “growth game-changer,”
opining that the strategy “cannibalizes full-ride member growth.” He
pegged the incremental revenue lift at less than 4% revenue, even
with generous assumptions about how many piggybackers Netflix might
be able to convert to Extra Member accounts.

But it’s also just another example of Netflix’s pivot from disruptive
innovative to just another powerful corporation primarily interested in
nickel-and-diming its existing customer base in a bid to please Wall
Street’s insatiable need for improved quarterly returns at any cost. It
doesn’t matter to many myopic investors if you’re sabotaging longer
term product quality and company reputation.

This inevitable pivot was first made fairly obvious when the company
[31]began waffling on issues like net neutrality in 2018, and is all
the more evident now. Much like [32]big cable companies like Charter,
Netflix — a company that spent years [33]openly advocating for password
sharing — now wants to pretend password sharing is some unethical
financial nightmare, when that’s simply never been the case.

It was honestly inevitable that this day would come. There is only so
much subscriber growth a service can achieve before it plateaus, at
which point the only option is to nickel and dime existing customers.
It is one of the flaws in the subscription business model, hence all
the price hikes and crackdowns on customer behaviour we’ve been seeing
recently.

Given subscription fatigue is very real and that people need to cut
expediture due to the cost of living, I suspect this is only the
beginning and it will affect not just Netflix.

Personally, I have culled all standalone video subscriptions that I
had. Now I only have Prime Video because it is bundled with Amazon
Prime and Apple TV+ because it is bundled with Apple One. Netflix and
Disney+ were both cancelled to save money.

Re: Re:

In Spain, Hulu doesn’t exist, and Disney+ includes a channel named
Star, which includes most of what is on Hulu in the US but for almost
no extra cost.

(I say almost because while, say, Prey was on there day one, there’s
still nowhere to get the new Hellraiser legally).

But, most things on Hulu in the US are just on Disney+ in Spain.

Re: Re:

It’s because of the mindset in the stock market that your company needs
to show growth. It’s not enough to just have a profit. That profit
needs to be better than the prior term, and next term’s profit needs to
be higher than this term and so on.

The mindset is dangerous because there will always be a point that
growth cannot happen.

Re: Re: Profits, the almighty king

Is it because the business model relies upon a continuous stream of
new subscribers in order to be profitable?

No, it’s because of Wall St., which is overrun to the point of
exhaustion with so-called 90-day wonders. In case you don’t know the
term, it means that MBA’s with sawdust for brains think that the only
measure of a businesses’ worth is how they perform over the shortest
possible period, or 90 days. To be brief, they think that if your
company doesn’t make a profit over the last quarter, then your company
sucks, and should be shit-canned. Tbhat’s what we mean by Wall St., and
90-day wonder(s).

It used to be that a company could successfully “coast” with a very
minor profit quarter over quarter, and year over year. But in the last
two decades, and possibly longer, Wall St. has been on a tear, driving
our economy into the ground in the name of The Almighty Dollar, and
it’s close cousin, The Profit.

And it shows in so many ways. For this discussion, Netflix had become
conflicted between its history of outstanding customer relations and
Wall St.’s insane desire to make more money than Croesus and Midas
combined. In just 90 days. As an old man, I can remember when I used to
make X dollars a year, and now the average Joe Six-pack makes that in
less than a week. That’s inflation taken to the extreme, and I don’t
see it settling down any time soon. Or as some wags put it, it’s all a
numbers game, and he who wins is the one with the largest number(s).
Bah! Humbug!

(Sorry for the rant, but my trigger is hair sensitive on this
particular topic.)

For every viewing, netflix already pays for that one time use licence
per viewing. So if you view the same piece of content numerous times,
netflix pays for each view to the copyright holders. So if you watch
the same thing a few times, you must be sharing your account.

This is not the fault of the consumer, and only a little bit of the
fault of netflix. This is the fault of an insatiably greedy industry
that provides nothing to society (read: copyright) but demand their
pound of flesh. They dont care where it comes from, as long as its
consistent. They dont care about if its sustainable, and they’ll be as
harsh as possible to meet their quarterly revenue projections.
Therefore, netflix feels it has to clamp down. But it hurts them, and
no-one will use them, so everyone upstream hurts.

Re: Re: Could it be?

One has to wonder….

If Netflix is truly paying copyright holders per viewing, then what’s
preventing them from ‘under reporting’ those numbers? History.
Hollywood accounting mandates that income will increase, period. By
Netflix reporting that they are suffering subscribers defections, that
number of views being reported back to Hollywood should be
commensurately lower, right?

It’s only fitting that Hollywood-accounting be turned back on
Hollywood.

But a financial nightmare password sharing is!

now wants to pretend password sharing is some unethical financial
nightmare, when that’s simply never been the case.

It is a nightmare. It’s just that letting your daylight decisions be
governed by your nightmares’ fearsomeness is not likely to optimize
your returns of investment.

Entrepreneurship and investing is exactly about immersing yourself into
stuff that has the potential to wake you up in sweat at night, but
doing so while hedging your bets and keeping the ongoing expense sheets
close to your chest.

Companies that make it out of startup will garner more conservative
accounting and rules in the process, with more of a focus on longterm
sustainability. That is a problem if a fundamental part of the
attraction to partners, customers, and investors had been based on an
initial disregard for maximising returns.

Retaining the intelligence for keeping expensive focusing points of
attraction operative can be a problem when going public or otherwise
placing the financing under more conventional management.

Sometimes you have to embrace at least one nightmare and own it in
order to differentiate your offerings from that of others.

So, how's that income looking there Netflix?

Some users were expected to be lost in the process but losing over 1
million users in a little over a month has major implications for
Netflix and whether it decides to continue with its crackdown globally.

Losing a million users is certainly going to hurt immediately but it
sounds like they’ve got much bigger concerns to worry about long-term…

In a worrying sign for the next quarter, 10% of remaining Netflix
subscribers say they plan to cancel their plan in Q2 2023, which is
well above the average seen in previous quarters.”

… when your latest business decision has you slated to lose a tenth of
your current customer base in the area on top of the million you
already lost that’s probably a good sign that you really screwed up and
should re-evaluate whatever you just did.

Re:

The problem is simply why people joined. At one point, Netflix were the
only major streaming service. Then, mainstream studios left, they
produced content that appealed to different markets, but they lost
content.

If you want to watch X blockbuster or Y TV series, it’s possible
Netflix isn’t for you when they lose the rights to that. It’s not
Netflix’s fault, it’s just that when someone decided they wanted all
the revenue, they couldn’t offer it any longer. Netflix still has a lot
of value, but if 10% decide to go because they don’t have The Simpsons
or Friends any more, that’s not a commentary on Netflix’s overall
value. It just means other people with veto power followed.

Oh dear, it’s happened again. I am shocked and bewildered that

I’m sure the next company to do something slightly novel that everyone

one to lead us all into the promised technotopia.

1. Hmm. That’s when I cancelled my Netflix subscription. Haven’t been
back since; between free streaming options, Prime Video, Disney+
and YouTube, I’ve seen 0 reason to watch Netflix since the other
services stopped giving Netflix access to chunks of their content.
No Netflix originals have looked compelling enough to me to wade
through the ever increasing T&Cs and fees to see if, even after I
subscribed, I’d have access to the stuff I wanted to watch.

Netflix’s competitors can now simply gain a competitive advantage by
being less confusing and annoying on pricing and account
restrictions.

Well, maybe they could, but a lot of them (HBO Max, Disney+,
Paramount+, Hulu, Peacock) are subsidiaries or close affiliates of MPAA
members; and the rest depend on licensing deals with members.

I doubt it’s a coincidence that Netflix changed their tune around 2019,
the same year they joined. And I suspect they know what they’re doing;
that playing fast and loose with the rules was always a temporary
growth strategy till people got hooked. Now that they have a seat at
the table, Netflix can convince the cartel to enforce similarly onerous
restrictions on their competitors.

Re:

“MPAA members”

While true, this is Spain, and the rights to distribute aren’t
necessarily the same.

Huh… I’ve not had any problems, even though I do share my account with
an ex girlfriend in return for her paying for my YouTube Premium. As
in, I’ve never even had a request to do something. Maybe it’s because I
tied it with my Movistar+ account, but that does seem bad if those are
accurate figures…

Anecdotally, I know more people who view locally produced Netflix shows
like The Snow Girl and ShKy High than have left, but I can imagine some
leaving for free trials elsewhere then returning to see other things.
The article says HBO and Sky, which have been heavily promoting free
trials.
