Netflix could start showing adverts and introduce new password rule

Netflix could introduce adverts to its service as well as new rules around passwords after its number of total subscribers decreased for the first time.

The streaming platform has long been known as one of the first sources of film and television that doesn't force viewers to sit through lengthy commercials. That could change as new rules and updates may see them introduced.

After a sudden drop in subscribers, Netflix announced it may test out showing ads to some users along with clamping down on people who share their passwords. Despite over 222 million using their services, they estimate an extra 100 million are piggybacking off other accounts.
