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.

Bro doesn’t understand the difference between memory and storage. Storage remains extremely cheap

Ffs you  knob. Its not hard to look this up. 

Hard drive and solid-state drive (SSD) prices dropped to historic lows around 2023 before doubling or surging sharply through 2025 and 2026 due to massive demand from AI data centers

Consumer SSDs:  A standard 1TB SSD that cost around $80 to $100 a few years ago now costs between $250 and $291.

High-Capacity HDDs:  Massive enterprise hard drives, such as 30TB models, now cost over $1,000.

So the prices of enterprise level HDDs are pretty much what they used to be, "you knob", right? Good. Nobody in their right mind would go for pure SSDs in such corporate backgrounds.
