Netflix attributed its long-awaited crackdown on account freeloaders during Q2 to its best subscriber growth in six quarters.
Netflix added 5.89 million paid members globally from April - June, blowing the doors off of equity analysts' consensus forecasts. The streaming company, which rolled out its new, more strict account-sharing policies in the U.S. back in May, also reported the addition of 1.19 million subscribers in Q2 in the U.S. and Canada.
