And I axed Netflix. So we’re even.
Yea I tried signing up to Netflix again since they had added the new plans and ads. Didn’t last more than the first/initial month/payment. What hot garbage that experience was. The 90s experience of having a cable person come over and install something would have been more user friendly. They lost a lot of good will from me as a customer that day, I’m not sure I’ll ever go back.
I’m keeping them for my kids until that password thing actually happens, then I am gone.
And my bow
Why would you be even? They got rid of it because for whatever reason people complained about offering a more economical option. Use whatever streaming services you want though. At this point it’s just about content. I don’t get the random Netflix hate from Reddit in particular.
Or we could sail the high seas again.
I never stopped. Streaming services are such a joke.
Kodi with a few good add-ons
Wait, you guys stopped? I used to have Netflix, Hulu/Disney+, Max, Prime, Paramount+/Showtime, and Peacock. I should have had access to pretty much any movie I wanted with all those subscriptions. Yet, at least once per month I decided I wanted to watch something either I had or hadn’t seen before and it’d be on some random service I don’t have. I refused to pay for more services so I’d just pirate it.
A week ago I cancelled them all and subscribed to a VPN. Piracy is cheaper, more convenient, and it pisses off the corpos. That’s a win/win in my book.
Yoho!
Yeeearrrrrrr!
I cancelled Netflix last month and had only kept it that long for family members.
After cancelling, I got a welcome back email because they’re apparently happy to let anyone logged in reactivate the subscription…
So I contacted them again to cancel, get a refund and ask what happened.
Then I decided I wanted to remove my card details from the account, but apparently you can only do that by contacting support…
So they think it’s okay to let anyone restart the subscription from a TV without entering a password, but they’ll make you contact support to remove card details…
Chargeback
Only if you plan to never do business with them ever again. I did that for a ps4 game on the PlayStation store that didn’t work with no refunds, and Sony locked down my account until I paid them that money. Pretty sure they warned that next time they won’t be so nice. Pretty fucked up.
Just about everywhere does that. People love throwing around the charge back option on the internet but it often fucked you over. Some companies use 3rd party payment processors so it can not only ban you from the company you charged back but also anything else using that processor.
Removed by mod
I’d give the solution, but I’d be put on multiple lists.

Okay then, I was just wondering if this was the right time to point out that the home addresses of Netflix board members are publicly available information.
I do not advocate violent or illegal activities. I encourage readers to utilize critical thinking and sound judgement.
I would like to say eat the rich, thanks
Why would changing a password put you on a list?
Change the password before you deactivate again?
Probably a good reason why you shouldn’t share your sub but netflix should have an easier setting to disable it so it is on them.
I mean, the sub is designed to be shared within a household, that’s why they have profiles…
The problem is Netflix letting a sub profile reactivate the subscription without providing a password.
I was a Netflix DVD subscriber before they released a Wii streaming disc then started streaming Netflix back when it was glorious with all your favorite shows. Eventually I downgraded to the cheap $8 plan for a single user at 1080p resolution which was fine - my old television is still 1080p native resolution.
Then they quietly raised the price… and dropped the resolution to 720p without telling me. Finally I had enough - after more than a decade I finally cancelled my Netflix account last year and haven’t looked back.
I don’t miss their “netflix originals” which only last for one or two seasons before getting canned because netflix needs more viewership to justify the investments.
Truth be told, I don’t watch must television (or even youtube) in general - I have better things to do with my time than vegetating on a couch watching a tv screen.
Can I offer you a free tier in these trying times?
You are a saint.
When asked for comment a Senior Executive, who asked not to be named, responded, “At that price point we’re rather have them pirate the shows than have to deal with the customer service and billing headaches.”
We axed Netflix two years ago.
