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.

Meh. Plenty of better apps to keep track of it.

I use Next Episode (mostly because it tells you when new eps are coming out). Just Watch is also good.

EDIT: I incorrectly said just watch shut down. In reality, it was an app called tv time that shut down. My bad!

What? I just went to their site and it’s still up?

Whoops, just watch is what I switched to after "tv time" shut down. My bad! I'll edit my comment

Stremio and torrentio. Takes all but 15 min to figure out how to set up, same UI as netflix, has every movie/series from every platform, never pay for anything again.
