Netflix took at the beginning of this year a radical decision that few people expected, and that's because although it had started to be applied in some countries, it suddenly became valid at the global level. I'm talking about Netflix's decision to no longer offer a free month to access its streaming platform, a system that helped it grow to 160 million subscribers worldwide, disappearing overnight out of a desire to increase profits .
Netflix he made this decision to make more money, but those from HBO are taking full advantage of it now, who are very seriously attacking the supremacy of the American platform, and we don't see this only in Romania. If in our country those from HBO have decided to enter into partnerships with the big telecommunication groups to offer their station and HBO Go for free for one or more months for customers, globally Netflix has even bigger problems from cause of competition.
Netflix: The RADICAL decision that brings Unexpected Problems
Netflix leaves people without free access to its platform, while HBO still offers a free week for people, but more than that, it has decided to offer dozens of movies, series, documentaries, for free. More than 500 hours of content from HBO are available for free starting yesterday for everyone, and this while Netflix remains a closed platform, without offering anything comparable to the freebies offered by HBO at the moment.
Netflix could allow people to see some movies and series without paying in the next period to counter what HBO is doing, the competing company seems to want to increase its number of customers. Netflix has occasionally offered an old movie for free viewing on its platform, but HBO has decided to offer series with full seasons available for free, many of them new and popular, so we are talking about something that has never been done before in the past.
Netflix during this period, it has a much higher degree of use than usual, which is beneficial for the company, but the freebies offered by HBO could steal some of its subscribers.
