2023 marked a before and after in the field of streaming, because Netflix made the important decision to prohibit users from sharing accounts. A strategy that is now going to be added Disney +.
If you are one of those who share the monthly expense of this platform with others, to enjoy all the Marvel movies, the old Disney classics and a good number of latest generation series, at a cheaper price, things are about to change for you.
Reasons why streaming platforms prohibit shared accounts
Disney+ has already confirmed that very soon its users will no longer be able to share accounts. And we are sure that It is not the last platform that is going to join this “fad”.
The main reason for making this decision is economic. As competition has grown and more and more streaming platforms have appeared, all of them have had to make an extra effort to acquire and Produce content that is of interest to your audience. This involves the disbursement of billions of dollars each year.
Something that has brought the business to a point where its viability is at risk. If the platform continues spending on content, but does not increase its profits because many users share accounts, liquidity begins to become a problem.
Let's suppose Disney+ applies a rate of 10 euros per month. If I share my account with my sister and my parents, each of us pays just over three euros, and Disney only earns 10 euros.
Now, if this or another streaming platform prohibits us from sharing the account, if we all want to continue watching the content, we will have to register. That is, where before the platform earned 10 euros, it now earns 30.
Despite the controversy that surrounded Netflix at the time when it made the decision to ban shared accounts, the result has not been bad. In a year has managed to increase its profits and gain new subscribers. Therefore, it is not surprising that your competition copies your idea.
When will shared accounts stop working in Spain?
In October 2023, Disney+ already gave us a first scare. There was talk at that time that sharing accounts in Spain was going to be prohibited, but in the end nothing happened and everything continued as usual.
But it seems that the moratorium is ending. In the United States, users are already being informed that account sharing is going to end very soon.
New users can no longer share the password. But those who did it before have been able to do it in recent months. However, this changes next March 14.
After that date, users in the United States will be prohibited from sharing their account. There is still no date for this to happen in Europe, but everything seems to indicate that it will not take long.
