Netflix faces declining usage

AHS responds to Netflix’s decline in subscribers

By Clarence Capunitan

Sophomore Victor San Yeap does not really mind the changes to how much the price to subscribe to Netflix is.

“I think that the price change Netflix enforced is okay because they are a big company and I think they raised the price on subscription because they are losing subscribers.”-San Yeap said.

Netflix has been in the news lately because reports are showing that their user base is declining. According to the New York Times written in April 2022,”Netflix said this week that it lost more subscribers than it signed up in the first three months of the year,reversing a decade of steady growth. Some believe that users are leaving because of increased prices for subscriptions and the rumors of a decision to stop multiple users from sharing a single account. San Yeap will keep his subscription with Netflix and does not plan on canceling his subscription any time soon.

“There are a lot of shows on Netflix that are worth watching and I will not be canceling my Netflix subscription in the foreseeable future.”San Yeap said

English teacher Robert Guarino plans on keeping his Netflix subscription until the company enforces the no sharing account policy and kicks him out of the account.

“So far they have not enforced the rule because I am still sharing my account.When a company does that you just have to adjust.I don’t think that Netflix will enforce it anytime soon in the United States because they are losing subscribers and they are not in the best position to risk losing even more customers. ”-Guarino said.
