Netflix one to keep an eye on. Cracking down on account sharing, which will no doubt lead to a mass exodus.
Why will it? Most people who share their password probably donāt charge the people theyāre giving their password to. So if theyāre unable to do that any more, then they lose nothing 
Or they pay for a subscription like the rest of us!
Families that share, people that might split the cost between them etc
Thereās also better alternatives out there now, more competition, so quite a few will most likely see it as a perfect time to unsubscribe.
You can share with people in your household though.
And sure you might have a small minority of people splitting the cost with people outside their home, but I doubt itās many. My Netflix is logged in on my mumās TV for example, I certainly donāt call her asking her for Ā£3.50 every month.
If Iāve got it right, the different IP address at your mumās would mean youād have to pay extra to use it there.
Netflix is definitely going to have a drop off in subscribers numbers, they did in Spain where the operation started early 2023.

There are platforms that offer a split service where one personās account and sub fee is shared with others (not necessarily family and friends), so I reckon the drop off will continue, will see if itās only marginal at the end of day,
Jeez, thatās a lot of revenue every month that theyāve lost out there if those figures in the article are correct. Be interesting to see the drop off for the second half of this year.
Yeah, I mean, I think the subscribers will go down anyway. Like you said there are alternatives out there and not as many people are interested in the products Netflix have to offer at the moment. They have just added all the Harry Potter films and things like Queen Charlotte are pretty popular I guess. But whether itās enough

That football.london website is the worst site known to man. Pop-ups, autoplay videos, lots of scrolling past adverts and a generally slow loading time that ends up glitching forcing you to go through the whole process again when the site crashes.

Itās that whole company. Reach. They do Mirror, Express, OK etc. I used to work for them, but on the print side rather than online side, but I know the digital teams there get complaints regularly. I even know someone who quit her job as an online reporter there purely because she hated the constant pop ups, she felt they tarnished her work. Which is true I guess. The stories are too hard to read, so I never bother and Iām obviously not alone. But the company only care about the clicks.

Surely youād prefer to keep people on your website once youāve lured them in with the clickbait.

him controlling or taking advantage of his position over young people.

I honestly thought his relationship with the young runner was confirmed fact already, seems it was just the worst kept secret going.
Would like to see some of the stuff flying around social media be verified, but if the timelines spoken about are true, this very much looks like a case of grooming.
Eamonn Holmes sounds like heās known about it for some time, interesting that he only has come out with such a damning indictment now. Almost as if it perhaps didnāt suit him to say anything sooner?
Iāve been deep into work recently so have missed all of this.
Is this why Holly and Phil have ābroken upā??
Basically heās always been gay, had an agreement with his wife, tabloids were gonna out him so he outed himself and everyone loved him for it but then it turns out that heās actually been shagging 16-18 year old boys and people arenāt keen on that so now heās finally been sacked by ITV??
Is that the gist of it?
