Or does the free tier option just make the content feel cheap?Mid-Roll Sponsor break: “we’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back”Peter (og Erin): Here's How Netflix Will Try To Keep You From Sharing The Password To Your Accountmandating that each device with a specific login be connected to the same WiFi network at least once every month.This network will be considered the primary network for every account and profile, and those that do not connect through this network will be forced to sign up for an individual account."When a device outside of your household signs in to an account or is used persistently," says the streamer's help center, "we may ask you to verify that device before it can be used to watch Netflix or switch your Netflix household."To verify a device: Netflix sends a link to the email address or phone number associated with the primary account owner, The link opens a page with a 4-digit verification code. The code needs to be entered on the device that requested it within 15 minutes. If the code expired, you will need to request a new verification code from the device. Once successful, that device can be used to watch Netflix. Device verification may be required periodically.Is it a mistake not to offer a tier for an extended family?Peter (og Valerie): Showtime Has A Stupid New Name, And They've Canceled A Handful Of Shows Too"Paramount+ with Showtime"Thoughts on the new name?the merger will likely result in layoffs and programming shake-upsthree Showtime series — "Let The Right One In," "Three Women," and "American Gigolo" — have already been canceled with the showrunners shopping around for new homes.The memo obtained by The Hollywood Reporter comes via Paramount CEO Bob Bakish: "This new combined offering demonstrates how we can leverage our entire collection of content to drive deeper connections with consumers and greater value for our distribution partners.”The "full integration" of Showtime and Paramount+ will take place later this year, and will also impact the premium tier of Paramount+, which will share the new title along with Showtime programming options.Chris McCarthy, President and CEO of Showtime and Paramount Media Networks, writes in another memo that the company will stop investing in projects that "are underperforming and that account for less than 10% of our views.Seems to me like streaming will have to be alot more data basedAll the other stuff you need to know:You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes./Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com. You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS). And please subscribe to our newsletter!Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.
