Netflix to End Password Sharing Beginning 2023
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Netflix will soon put an end to password sharing. Following a boom in subscribers during the pandemic, the company later began to experience losses and now sees password-sharing as an urgent issue that needs to be addressed. According to reports, it will begin asking for extra payment for shared accounts starting in 2023, affecting users in the U.S. sometime early next year. “Make no mistake, I don’t think consumers are going to love it right out of the gate,” Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos told investors earlier this month. The move follows Netflix’s introduction of a “Basic with Ads” tier for $6.99 per month and an update to its customer help pages this year indicating that accounts should only be shared by those who live together.

Self-deprecating candor and vague mystique appear to be Korine’s default when it comes to interviews. In 1995, aged just 19, he joined the Late Show with David Letterman’s sofa as part of a Kids media junket. “I guess it’s controversial,” he said of the film, through an awkward smile. “I just wanted to make a sequel to Caddyshack,” he adds. Korine doesn’t take himself, or anything for that matter, too seriously. What surrounds him is what s...
