☆ How the end of Netflix password sharing will change the way families watch, especially the ones with college-age children
  + stars: | 2023-02-04 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Back in 2014, allowing people to share passwords was a "terrific marketing vehicle for the next generation of viewers," Plepler once told BuzzFeed. And yes, it looks like the crackdown may include families who share passwords with kids who are away at college. Even two analysts who follow Netflix acknowledged that their college-aged children are piggybacking on the family Netflix account for now. The company's terms of use require people to live at the same location to share a password. The company's terms of use already require customers to agree to Netflix tracking this information in order to deliver the service.

"This was my road to Damascus experience, a turning point in my understanding of the role of talent density in organizations," Hastings wrote. Hastings credits the company's culture of internal transparency and innovation, which endows top-performers with unusual autonomy, for Netflix's success. "This is a big psychological change for Netflix," said Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData. "There's no big strategy shifts or big culture shifts," he said in a post-earnings video interview with an analyst. They'll also need to find new sources of revenue, including in video games -- where Netflix will confront established rivals.

☆ Disney could use an activist investor like Nelson Peltz to help get its financial house in order
  + stars: | 2023-01-19 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
An activist investor like Trian Partners' Nelson Peltz on Walt Disney 's (DIS) board could help prod the entertainment conglomerate to address its financial woes and implement much-needed changes to create long-term value for the company and its shareholders. "Lots of angry people ask me why I support Nelson Peltz for the Disney board, and I give a simple answer: What has this board done for its shareholders other than wipe out more shareholder money?" Nonetheless, Disney's board unanimously decided against offering Peltz a seat, according to an SEC filing the company submitted Tuesday. Peltz, whose next step in his fight is to convince voting Disney shareholders he deserves a board seat, has had success serving on several company boards. Wall Street has had a mixed reaction to Peltz's efforts to obtain a board seat.

☆ Disney is counting on Bob Iger to make hard decisions about its streaming and TV assets – or find someone who will
  + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( Alex Sherman | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Of course, while Iger said Disney was all-in on streaming, the reality was it wasn't, and it still isn't. Part of that shift was Disney's realization that it likely wasn't going to hit its target of 230 million to 260 million Disney+ subscribers by 2024. Disney shares have fallen nearly 40% this year. Disney shares surged during the pandemic even as theme parks closed and movies were kept out of theaters. "The old plan can't be the new plan," Greenfield said.
