There were around 1,800 reports on Downdetector, which
collates status reports from a number of sources.
About 55 percent of the users reported issues with the
website, according to Downdetector.
Netflix did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for
comment.
Netflix, which has more than 200 million paid subscribers
globally, remains a dominant streaming service.
The streaming service last month cut prices of its
subscription plans in some countries as it looked to maintain subscriber growth
amid stiff competition and strained consumer spending.
Netflix, which operates in over 190 countries, has been
looking to grow its share in newer international regions as the US and Canada
markets saturate. The company added about 7.6 million subscribers in the fourth
quarter after bleeding subscribers in the first half of 2022 as rivals such as
Paramount+ and Disney+ raked in subscribers.
But average revenue per membership declined across regions
in the last three months of 2022.
In February, Netlfix also laid out plans to crack down on
password sharing for accounts on its streaming platform, including setting up
primary location and paying a couple of dollars for an extra member.
The video-streaming giant, which has estimated that 100
million users around the world use a shared account, said that members can now
easily manage who has access to their account, transfer profile to a new
account and still easily watch Netflix on their personal devices or log into a
new TV. © Reuters
