…By Joseph Benjamin for TDPel Media. Netflix’s recent crackdown on password sharing, aimed at reducing the number of users sharing accounts with friends and family in different locations, has prompted a lighthearted response from Amazon Prime Video UK on Twitter.

The streaming rivalry has entertained users as the two giants engage in a humorous exchange.

Netflix Users Face Additional Fees for Shared Accounts

Research firm Digital i reveals that approximately a quarter of Netflix’s 15 million subscribers in the UK engage in password sharing.

However, with the new ban in place, these users will now have to pay an additional £4.99 per month to grant access to other households using their account.
