Netflix Sees Decline in Individual User Engagement Despite Growing Subscriber Base

Netflix Sees Decline in Individual User Engagement Despite Growing Subscriber BasePreviousNext

Netflix has experienced a decline in user engagement, with customers opening the app less frequently and watching less individually, despite overall watch time rising due to new subscribers. This trend began after the 2022 crackdown on password sharing and has continued, raising concerns about competition and content appeal. Netflix is responding by increasing its programming budget and expanding into podcasts and live sports. Leadership acknowledges slower growth in the US but reports strong performance internationally and steady churn rates.
