nearly a decade ago, Netflix had a monopoly on the service, but the new streaming platforms have become more competitive, partly by charging less, and also by owning exclusive rights to their own programs and content. Nevertheless, inflation and cost rationalization impacts on the consumer, who is looking for options that are more suitable for their pocket.
The decision of Netflix to charge a additional surcharge of the service for each address of the subscriber, conditions the use and limits the possibility of sharing the account, both for Argentina and for other countries in the region. A maneuver that may be due to the competitive context of the market and the slowdown in new subscriptions.
Currently, the company founded by Reed Hastings is part of a spectrum of paid platforms in which there are Amazon Prime Video, hbo max, Star+, Paramount+, AppleTV, Disney+, Cablevision Flow, Movistar Play Y DirecTV GO, among many others that use subscription promotions for free or at low cost, but with a very limited duration.
An example of this commercial technique is given with the site Free marketwhich offers the user to subscribe to a higher level of the sales platform, with the advantage of incorporating the digital content of Disney+ Y Star+. But they are not truly free like the following.
