If the stock drop extends into Wednesday’s regular trading session, Netflix shares will have lost more than half of their value so far this year — wiping out about $150 billion in shareholder wealth in less than four months.
Netflix absorbed its biggest blow since losing 800,000 subscribers in 2011 — the result of unveiled plans to begin charging separately for its then-nascent streaming service, which had been bundled for free with its traditional DVD-by-mail service. The customer backlash to that move elicited an apology from Netflix CEO Reed Hastings for botching the execution of the spin-off.
The setback follows the company’s addition of 18.2 million subscribers in 2021, its weakest annual growth since 2016. That contrasted with an increase of 36 million subscribers during 2020 when people were corralled at home and starved for entertainment, which Netflix was able to quickly and easily provide with its stockpile of original programming.
The Los Gatos, California, company estimated that about 100 million households worldwide are watching its service for free by using the account of a friend or another family member, including 30 million in the U.S. and Canada. “”Those are over 100 million households already are choosing to view Netflix,” Hastings said. “They love the service. We’ve just got to get paid at some degree for them.”
They will lose allot more if they start blocking or charging more for sharing with family. If I pay for a water and want to share it, it’s mine I paid for it, I’ll share it.
Because they charge too much. All of these apps use us to get rich and once they get rich and stable they raise their prices by x3. Netflix use to be 5$ , it still only shows you shows that have a season behind instead of current available seasons for a lower price on other apps
It’s that because they lost a bunch of Russian customers to by leaving?
yeah, there's nothing really new coming out to watch....
