Are you a Disney Plus subscriber who shares your account with friends and family outside your household? If so, get ready for some changes. Disney+ is cracking down on password sharing, following in the footsteps of Netflix to increase profitability. Here’s what you need to know:
– Disney CEO Bob Iger has announced a timeline for the password-sharing crackdown, set to begin in June and roll out globally by September.
– The new policy involves monitoring account activity to ensure that users are watching from a single household.
– This move aligns with Disney’s previous announcement last summer about combating shared accounts, and US subscribers were given a heads-up in February.
– While the news may not come as a surprise, it signals the end of an era for those who have been sharing passwords with others.
Similar to Netflix’s experience, the crackdown on password sharing could lead to an increase in paying subscribers for Disney. With rising costs across various streaming platforms, tighter budgeting may be necessary moving forward. As streaming services continue to evolve, be prepared for changes like this one from Disney Plus.
