The company will roll out tactics to mitigate password sharing in 2024. While Iger said Disney should see some effects from the rollout in 2024, the initiatives to prevent password sharing won’t be completed next year.

Netflix showed that they could get away with it. Expect all streaming services to follow to appease the almighty shareholders.

Not with me, they didn't. Being able to help out a few friends was the last thing keeping me on Netflix, so with the account sharing restrictions I cancelled, bought a lifetime Plex pass (which was more just to show my support for them not being a shitty company), and now I just use my PC as a media server and pirate all my shit. And I can still share it all with friends!

Sadly you and I are in the minority, if I remember rightly account numbers actually went up with the crackdown.

Nice! Monkey D Luffy could learn a thing or three from you.

We cancelled Netflix about a year ago for good - which made me setup stuff like Sonarr. Without Netflix being dicks I wouldn't have proper pirating infrastructure...

While I still pay for Disney+ we're also throwing everything we care about into sonarr - so if they do something stupid I'll just cancel and still have everything I want.
