Investments in audience analysis
In early 2023, Netflix announced the closing of a partnership with Nielsen, an audience and audience research company.

Despite promoting the arrival of new subscribers, the company has not disclosed the total number of active subscribers at this time.
However, it is known that there is a big difference between open accounts and already active subscribers on the Netflix platform today.
