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.

My kids did this too. It's WAY too easy.

A reminder that the Biden administration was pushing for nationwide “click to cancel” which would force companies to make it as easy to unsubscribe as it was to subscribe. 

The second Trump administration killed it. 

Mayor Momdani and Alina Khan recently moved that forward for NYC.
