Disney is banking on a password crackdown and spate of sequels as it pushes to make its streaming business profitable.
The company, which is under pressure as audiences move away from traditional pay-TV and cinema, said it was on track to meet its goals after new subscribers and price rises helped to narrow losses in its streaming business.
God, ain’t that the truth. Getting my mom to give up Netflix was like pulling teeth. When people are used to something, they never want to give it up. I still haven’t gotten her to drop cable, but I am essentially her DVR now, for all intents and purposes.
It’s been a fun evolution though. My parents and extended family all use it now, and my mom keeps asking me why I don’t make money from this stuff. Had to explain to her that selling pirated material is a ‘dick move’ plus I didn’t wanna put myself out there like that.
