Their greed made me put on my eye patch years ago. And since then I’ve only convinced more to do the same.
Screw these greedy bastards.
Infinite Free Netflix hack:
Sign up for a month and pay. Immediately go and cancel the subscription. It will say the cancellation takes effect in 30 days, however they will actually cancel your subscription in 2-3 days and issue you a refund. In that 2-3 days you can watch Netflix. Repeat.
Could be the get fed up with you after the 10th time you try that, and ban you or your IP.
I’ve personally done it twice. Mostly was trying to actually sign up for a 30 day period to watch a show, but wasn’t planning on letting the subscription run unquestioned like I used to. The price is too high for that. Turns out Netflix is petty. Either you let the subscription run, or they cancel you.
And my desire to have an account has reduced even further. It's already way too expensive, but on top of that we have endless license wars, so the actual consumer will never win. We're playing checkers while they are playing monopoly where every spot is get out of jail for free
All while they can't make new content from the strikes? They better buy up some gold for shows to binge watch like Battle Star Galactica.
I still have it cause it's free with t mobile.
Well, if you linearly extrapolate from recent events, eventually they will have a single user who is paying a billion dollars a month for their subscription.
Only hanging on to an account for my parents' sake now.
Some people will still say it is cheaper than going to cinemas everyday.
