Popular series are being discontinued, password sharing is being prevented and prices are being increased: almost 10 years after it was launched in Germany, Netflix is as controversial as ever. In this podcast, we therefore ask ourselves a pragmatic question: Is the Netflix subscription still worth it?
We provide them Arguments for and against Netflix before, explain the current price structure and the measures against the sharing of accounts. We also take a look at the attractive content that the streaming service still offers and thus arrive at the answer: to unsubscribe or not?

Measures against password sharing follow the wave of resignations
In a previous episode of Stream Browsing, we talked about why Netflix feels like it’s dropping so many shows. Behind this is an economic compulsion, which, however, very few fans of the shows concerned will understand. Another measure to encourage profits is to limit so-called password sharing. Many subscribers share their accounts with others who are not part of their household, such as family members or friends.
For years, the streaming service tolerated this practice, which was actually forbidden. That will change in 2023. After allegedly successful tests in several countries, Netflix is rolling out the controls in Germany. In the podcast, we use personal experiences to explain how it works and what the Alternatives to blocking non-household access are. However, we also ask ourselves whether these measures will make Netflix less attractive.
