Netflix Requires All Subscribers to Refer 5 New Customers

Netflix has announced a big change for its subscribers, requiring everyone to recruit five new customers. This move is supposed to help attract new viewers and keep Netflix ahead in the streaming game. Co-CEO Ted Sarandos explained that existing members will need to host Netflix parties to introduce potential customers to the service, and they risk losing their account if they don’t bring in new subscribers on a yearly contract. Sarandos shared his own story of starting out selling Netflix subscriptions and emphasized the entrepreneurial opportunity for loyal subscribers. If you successfully recruit 50 customers, you could reach the new “Diamond Star” membership level and even get a chance to win a Netflix-red Jeep. It’s an interesting twist that Netflix hopes will shake things up and bring more people to the platform.
