On Tuesday, Hastings suggested that the company may adopt something similar in other markets. In Costa Rica, for instance, Netflix plan prices range from $9 to $15 a month, but subscribers can create sub-accounts for two other individuals outside their household for $3 a month. Netflix has already been experimenting in Latin America with programs that use a soft touch to convince the unsubscribed to sign up. “We’ve just got to get paid at some degree for them,” co-CEO Reed Hastings said during a shareholder call Tuesday. Netflix estimates that about 100 million households worldwide - or roughly one out of every three households using its service - are streaming for free. Netflix shares sank 35% on the news, falling to their lowest level since early 2018. The surprising net loss of 200,000 subscribers rattled investors, who had been told by the company to expect a gain of 2.5 million subscribers.
