From the article:

"According to an analysis released Friday by the television analytics company Antenna, the streaming giant posted four of its best days of U.S. acquisition ever with nearly 100,000 daily sign-ups on May 26 and May 27, a few days after it started to curb password sharing. It netted 73,000 new daily sign-ups on average after the crackdown, marking a 102 percent increase over the prior 60-day average. The ratio of sign-ups to cancels also increased, Antenna found, indicating that new subscriptions outpaced cancellations."

Emphasis mine

P.S - I have a subscription to WaPo that allows me to "gift" ten articles a month. I'm curious if the gift URL only allows one or a few people to access it, or if it opens the article up to everyone that uses the link.

Can a few people comment to tell me if that link bypassed the paywall to the article for them?

I also was able to access the full gifted article.

I could read it and it said I was gifted the article by a subscriber.

Only goes to show these crackdowns, which are criticized by power users, work out against the normal population

For sure.

The last year of constant recession-expectation, and the tightening of lending/support for big tech is leading to a lot of circling of the short-term profitability wagons.
