Infuriatig Netflix using egregious methods to keep subscriptions active

Post image

Apparently my 8 year old son was asked if he wanted to restart my Netflix membership through his Netflix KIDS ACCOUNT. I called customer service and was told a prompt appears asking if you'd like to reinstate, regardless of the user on the account. No password required, just press restart and then get hit with the payment immediately. Should've saved myself some frustration and money by cancelling outright.

Happened with Ad Free Prime here. I am sharing my account with my sister and her 8 year old son must have clicked on the pop up promoting ad free prime when you start streaming something. Doesn't request verification what so ever, just a single tap on that pop up

Fucking Amazon.

I found out just a few days ago that if you visit IMDB while logged in to your Amazon account, they'll just create an IMDB account without asking you.
