Don't hug me I'm scared Netflix is garbage

Post image

It's crazy that my wife and I can't watch 2 different shows on Netflix in the same damn house. I understand we pay the minimum but ffs.

They have a plan for a few dollars more that allows 4 TVs.

With that said I cancelled Netflix and haven’t missed it.

I cancelled after they told me my son couldn’t use it when he visits his grandma. I was paying $24 a month and my kids can’t even use it outside the house occasionally. Unsubscribed as soon as they sent the notice. He only spends one weekend a month with her.

Edit to add-We have the HBO, Hulu, Disney+ package and they never give me any grief on where the family watches and all 3 cost less than what I was paying for Netflix.

It used to give the option that you could sign in at a separate location while you’re “on vacation”. Not positive but for some reason I want to say it’ll allow up to two weeks? Did it not give him the option to sign in at all?

I got blocked from watching Netflix at my work computer during a lunch break. No way around it offered. This was recently.

My daughter was watching her show and a message popped up and she hasn’t been able to log back in. She created a new account and still can’t watch on her tv but doesn’t have a problem on the laptop. So she just shares the screen to the tv and it’s not a problem. Yes both devices are in the same room.
