Max is set to stop its subscribers from sharing their password with friends and family, as it follows in the footsteps of other streamers such as Netflix andDisneyPlus.
The publication goes on to state that the news of the crackdown was first shared byBloomberg, in a report that describes the move as a direct response to shareholders, who are pressuring media companies to make their services profitable. In short, if less people are able to use other subscribers' accounts, then more people might sign up of their own accord – providing the restrictions don’t put them off altogether.
Max is home to some of the world’s biggest small-screen titles right now, including True Detective,which was just renewed for a new season, Hacks, The White Lotus, and The Last of Us. This week, HBO confirmed that Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon wouldstart rolling out its second season in June, which is sure to bring in plenty of viewers.
