The most significant change, beyond pricing, is the consolidation of the fight against shared accounts. What began as a controversial measure by Netflix has become the new industry standard. Disney+'s decision to implement this restriction in 2025 marks a turning point, forcing groups of friends and family who shared expenses to seek new alternatives or assume much higher individual costs.
The streaming industry has entered a new phase of maturity, where profitability has overtaken user acquisition as the primary objective. For consumers, this translates into higher prices and less flexibility. The "subscribe and cancel" strategy based on the monthly releases and the careful selection of one or two main platforms is emerging as the new norm for managing digital entertainment budgets in 2025.
