The popular streaming platform was in a shaky place recently due to varying factors. The account sharing issue was a big block in their revenue generation. But now, according to the latest reports, the platform is having positive growth. The stocks have climbed 9%. According to Bloomberg, Netflix’s lower-cost ad service reached a peak of two million monthly subscribers.

Another pillar that has also contributed to the growth is the games the platform offers. Thus, they are planning to invest more in this department, aiming to widen their growth and broaden their reach. Currently, the platform offers 55 games that users can play on smartphones and tablets.

Moreover, Netflix is also considering making a substantial change. Reports suggest a shift from Microsoft, Netflix’s ad tech and sales partner. This will be a big step for the platform, as they are taking a step back from a potentially powerful ally.

The streaming platform is planning to bring the tech operations in-house, thus balancing the cost. These mainly are based on the fact that their deal with Microsoft is coming to an end this year. But, if they decide to sign a deal with Microsoft again, likely the tech operations may continue the same way.
