Survey Reveals Shocking Numbers on Netflix Password Sharing With Subscription Rate Flattering In The US

Netflix has been loyal to its customers in providing quality content and keeping
them entertained. Sure, there have been delays and cancellations of our favorite
dramas at times. But the streaming giant more or less provides us with what it
promises. But are the subscribers as much loyal? The streaming service had to
question this because of the Netflix password sharing trends.

Different OTT platforms have acquired various policies, tactics, and offers to
build a large subscriber base. Netflix too has done the same. At premium and
standard levels, we get to create up to 5 profiles on devices made after 2013,
giving us streaming privacy within the household. However, this has cost Netflix
itself at a certain level. There has been a large audience who enjoys its
services with no kind of payback. Recently, Leichtman Research Group
[https://deadline.com/tag/leichtman-research-group/] did extensive research, and
this is what they found out.


ONE-THIRD OF THE NETFLIX SUBSCRIBERS SHARE THEIR PASSWORD

According to the new data from Leichtman Research Group, and as reported by
Deadline
[https://deadline.com/2022/03/netflix-password-sharing-subscribers-survey-streaming-1234990125/];
about one-third of U.S. subscribers share their login credentials, hence
confirming Netflix’s own research. Out of 4,400 consumers, 64% of respondents
said they pay for and use Netflix only in their own household, and 33% indicate
some form of sharing. (The remaining 3% are households whose Netflix comes
packaged via other subscriptions.)

Netflix has 74 million customers in the United States and Canada and has reached
approximately 70% of broadband households in the United States. Netflix has
recently phased in fee increases to maintain paying its $18 billion in annual
programming spending, despite subscription growth slowing in the region.
Moreover, according to the report, 29% of all direct-to-consumer services are
shared with individuals outside the household.

Unsurprisingly, younger viewers are the most likely to borrow login credentials.
According to the report, 34% of persons aged 18 to 34 have at least one
streaming service that is totally paid for by someone else, compared to 14% of
those aged 35 and up. Further, someone from outside the household entirely
compensates for about 7% of them.

Earlier, Netflix too conducted such surveys and launched a test

in three regions outside the U.S. to levitate its revenue. This would eventually
help in funding for high-budget cinematography. At last, as noted by Bruce
Leichtman (president and principal analyst for LRG) and we quote, “Password
sharing is an inherent feature of most streaming services.” He further said,
“but it also creates a gap between the number of households that have a service
and actual paying subscribers.”
