Recently, Internet users have been complaining about problems logging into YouTube. They noticed that they couldn’t share passwords. On the one hand, this is a failure, on the other hand, there is a risk that the platform may plan to follow in the footsteps of Netflix.
Netflix is one of the most popular streaming platforms on the internet, we can watch hundreds of series and movies every day. Unfortunately, due to economic reasons, the owners of the site have made changes and have prevented the sharing of passwords and accounts with people who do not live together. Now users are afraid that YouTube will introduce such a restriction.
Streaming services are full of changes. Clients are afraid
Recently, we have seen a lot of changes in well-known video content platforms. Until recently, YouTube was completely free, and each user used one type of account. Recently, we have a new option - “Premium”, which has no ads.
Innovations, of course, should bring a lot of profit to the platform, on the other hand, make life easier for those users who do not want cut scenes when watching their favorite content. Recently, Internet users have begun to fear that YouTube will go further and, like Netflix, will prohibit the disclosure of passwords and access to accounts.
The latest failure has caused concern. Google, which owns YouTube, has reportedly disabled the ability to share your password with others. This kind of issue has been complained about by many people who have wondered if this is a Netflix-style tactic. The company claims that these are only technical problems.
Will YouTube follow in the footsteps of Netflix?
YouTube representatives explain that a temporary problem with sharing accounts and passwords with loved ones was the result of an update. After the service received information about the failure, it immediately took action. To fix the error, we had to remove the account from the shared family plan and then add it back.
One of the CordCuttersNews portals finds a second bottom in everything. He notes that YouTube may be slowly preparing for similar changes to Netflix. According to the website, there is a suspicion that the platform is increasingly encouraging the purchase of so-called offline subscriptions and providing such advertisements. At the moment it is not known if anyone should check if we share accounts on YouTube, but it is worth noting that this is not officially allowed.
