Make absolutely sure you're not paying Netflix when you cancel your account!
Those fucking assholes still pulled from my PayPal account after I cancelled my account on the site... I couldn't even log in as "there's no account with this email" (yes I used the correct one) and yet I had been paying them for a year and a half after that without realizing...
Sounds like you got hacked and someone reactivated your subscription
This company represents the worst aspects of capitalism now. They’ve got anCEO whose only objective is to get shareholders to vote for his insane annual bonuses, and he does that by trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of his customers. It won’t be long before they start cutting costs on providing content so everyone’s going to be paying more for less.
I cancelled Netflix a while ago but it’s a shame because I quite liked being a legal customer for everything. Now I’m a conscientious objector.
Of course they are. A few years from now, there'll be no ad-free plans at all. Across any streaming service.
I imagine there probably will be at least an expensive one, because there are probably some people out there willing to pay more for an ad-free service than the ads and normal fee would add up to, but not willing to use the service with ads. Might not be many people, but I doubt having one more plan costs the company enough that it wouldn't make them slightly more money to have one
Y’arr matey!
It's hard to buy ad-free cable TV...
Cable TV ads are sent out to everyone the same aren't they? I imagine creating special tiers of ads for that would be more difficult than it is for streaming
my cheap ass VPN service wins again.
Which one’s that? Genuine question, been looking into different VPNs and it’s impossible to choose one that’s worth the price.
I'm a huge fan of mullvad. $5 a month and very well regarded by the privacy community
"Our profit growth percentage is not increasing fast enough, Surely there must be more we can squeeze out of the plebs." - Netflix Executives, probably.
In other news, all Netflix tiers will now stream at 480p, unless you pay an additional premium of $18.99 a month. Because fuck you.
Pirates life for me
