My thoughts exactly. It’s like the TV equivalent of a gym membership.
Open app.
See this.
Close app.
I'll try again in a few months. Maybe.
Why maintain your subscription?
There's a DMC anime? That might be good though. I liked the Castlevania one.
We try to cancel every once in a while, but somehow within the following 30 days someone always has one thing they want to watch. It's like they watch for us to cancel and then send an ad to one of the kids, "Hey, all the vtubers are watching this thing, so you want to right?"
If you just want one show why not pirate it?
honestly if its just one show.. it might be even worth just buying it with the price of netflix now.
Thats how I felt with movies that are on there with it at 20/m now
Netflix has not been as receptive to the administrations direction?
Did they even say thank you?
While normally I would applaud this, this is Texas, so it doesn't have anything to do with what it says and is probably just some rich people playing games.
I had the same initial feeling. My first thought was why Netflix? Is it a proxy CA v TX thing?
It could be spurred on by some recent success in the courts from suits against the likes of Meta and YouTube for similar things.
Look into Paxton's history of using consumer protection laws to do the opposite. He has never cared about people's privacy before. This is almost certainly corrupt in some way, probably to either pressure Netflix to do something for the GOP or to score political points with someone.
How dare Netflix. Spying on and abusing children is Texas' thing!
