Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Netflix, a mega-streaming and subscription company, has announced plans to launch a pilot program in three nations, Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, which will actually make password sharing acceptable for an increased fee.<\/p>\n

In its news release shared in Mid-March, the American platform will simply ask people exchanging passwords to pay an extra fee for each sub-member who will not exceed two per account.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we want to ensure any new features are flexible and useful for members, whose subscriptions fund all our great TV and films,\u201d said that streamer in a statement, explaining a slight rise of the cost.<\/p>\n

The statement added the content distribution giant will work to understand the utility of these two featured for members in the pilot countries before making changes anywhere.<\/p>\n

It is predicted adding a sub-member might cost up to $2.99 additional to the monthly subscription in Costa Rica, and relatively the same amount in other countries.<\/p>\n

The streaming giant could also restrict each account to use on at most four devices.<\/p>\n

Netflix subscribers often shared their accounts with family and friends, but the company has turned a blind eye to the activity, judging its benefits outweigh the cost.<\/p>\n

The company boasts 222 million subscribers who increased by 9 percent since early 2021, but the policy change could unlock subscriber growth for Netflix according to experts.<\/p>\n

However, engagement growth surged during the global outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic as people were relegated to entertaining exclusively in the comforts of their homes.<\/p>\n

Last year, Netflix generated $29.7 billion in revenue.<\/p>\n
