Netflix's crackdown on password-sharing has resulted in an influx of 5.9 million new subscribers worldwide, according to the company's Q2 earnings report. The move was initially slated for Q1 but was pushed back due to the scale of the issue. The crackdown has been successful, with Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters stating that customer retention is quite good. The company also introduced a more affordable ad-supported plan to regain momentum after last year's subscriber loss.
