Netflix’s controversial crackdown on password sharing has, in the short term at least, provided the streaming service with a new subscriber boost.
Subscriptions were up by 5.9m since March, BBC News reported, presenting a far rosier picture than the losses faced this time last year.
In a statement, Netflix said it had seen a “healthy conversion of borrower households” into paid accounts, and that the number of account cancellations in protest at the changes had been low.
