Here’s a recent story from the AP:

Netflix announced Thursday that its subscriber growth slowed significantly over the summer, a sign the huge gains The repression exercised by the video streaming service against freeloading viewers is decreasing.

The 5.1 million subscribers Netflix added during the July-September period represents a 42% drop from the total gained during the same period last year. Even so, the company’s revenue and profits grew at a faster pace than analysts expected, according to FactSet Research.

Netflix ended September with 282.7 million subscribers worldwide, far more than any other streaming service.

The Los Gatos, Calif., company earned $2.36 billion, or $5.40 per share, an increase of 41% from the same period last year. Revenue climbed 15% from last year to $9.82 billion. Netflix management predicts that the company’s revenue will grow at the same rate of 15% year over year in the October-December period, slightly better than analysts expected.

Strong financial performance last quarter, coupled with optimistic guidance, overshadowed any concerns about a slowdown in subscriber growth. Netflix’s stock price jumped nearly 4% in extended trading after the numbers were released, building on a more than 40% rise in the company’s shares so far this year.

“We had a plan to reaccelerate growth and we executed on that plan,” Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said on a video call discussing the results.

Subscriber gains last quarter were the lowest recorded in a three-month period since the start of last year. This decline indicates that Netflix is ​​moving into a new phase after reaping the benefits of a ban on the once-widespread practice of sharing account passwords that allowed an estimated 100 million people to watch its popular service without paying for it.

The repression, triggered by a rare loss of subscribersemerging from the pandemic in 2022, helped Netflix add 57 million subscribers from June 2022 to June of this year, an average of more than 7 million per quarter, while many of its competitors in the sector are struggling then that households reduce their discretionary spending.

Netflix’s gains were also boosted by a low-cost versionof its service which included advertisements for the first time in its history. The company still only gets a small fraction of its revenue from the two-year-old ad campaign, but Netflix is ​​stepping up its focus on that segment of its business to help boost profits.

Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters predicted that the company’s ad sales would double over the next year, while still accounting for only a portion of total revenue that would continue to be propelled by advertising fees. subscription.

“We have a lot of work ahead of us,” Peters said during a video call with investors. But he predicted that Netflix’s foray into advertising would eventually prove as successful as its recent crackdown on password sharing.

Although he was impressed by much of Netflix’s report, Mike Proulx, an analyst at Forrester Research, called the slowdown in subscriber growth “concerning,” particularly in the United States, where society is finding it increasingly difficult to attract more viewers.

“This is why accelerating growth through advertising becomes paramount in Netflix’s future strategy,” Proulx said.

As part of its evolution, Netflix is ​​increasingly supplementing its lineup of scripted TV series and movies with live-action programming, such as a Labor Day spectacle starring the famous glutton Joey Chestnut, setting a world record to gorge on hot dogs during a confrontation with his longtime enemy. Takeru Kobayashi.

Netflix will try to attract more viewers in the current quarter with a fight on November 15 pitting former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson against Jake Paul, a YouTube sensation turned boxer, and two National Football League games on Christmas Day.
