29 ‘Smart’ People Who Thought Paying For Netflix Is Dumb And Tried Leeching It From Someone Else For Free
Netflix offers three streaming plans, starting at $9 per month and ending at $16 per month. However, for some people, that's still too expensive. And there are a few ways they usually deal with it: a) swallow the bitter reality pill and pirate their favorite shows online; b) beg for someone else's account information. Neither is necessarily better than the other, but if you're considering the latter, remember, you might lose a few friends. These folks certainly have. They went to such huge lengths while desperately trying to hop on someone else's Netflix membership, they gave up every bit of dignity along the way.

I Changed My Netflix Password And My Ex Came Out Of The Woodworks So Fast
Kaisu 6 years ago
Why do people's exes think they are entitled to their former partner's Netflix for free?
Jenica Thomas 6 years ago
Exactly! lol After splitting with someone, one of the first things I always did was log out of their accounts and change my own passwords. It's no longer either one of our business!

Not even a standard, "hello, how are you? May I ask you a totally rude and inappropriate thing?" Straight to the point.
Luzelle Pepito 6 years ago
My ex personally changed the password the day we ended and I was the one who didn't have an access for days. It was my netflix account.
Unfortunately for those choosing beggars who actually get someone's login information, Netflix has set out to prevent users from sharing accounts and restrict people from swapping passwords. Currently, users have the option of setting up different viewing profiles using one login. They must, however, purchase premium plans to watch Netflix on more than one screen. Some users are getting around this by sharing passwords with family and friends outside of their household.

He Wants My Netflix Password With Nothing In Return
Uchman 6 years ago
"A few days later, he decided he was leaving" is the best part of that horror story
John Meise 6 years ago
So...I'd be pissed if my roommate told me to get my own netflix account too. There's no reason to pay for two f*****g accounts in one house. But...he shouldn't have done something so weird and creepy and odd...like wtf? Just offer to pay for half the netflix account and that would have been reasonable as long as it didn't cause any issues.

Wowzers. That's why I do a wee fib. I tell people I am piggybacking off someone else.

He should have offered to pay for half. but I guess if he downloads things illegally that wouldn't be likely. I have shared some accounts with family members, but we always split the cost.

oh, the irony of someone calling people beggars when they can't even pay $9.99 a month for Netflix.
Amazon QT 6 years ago
I would have just said it’s not my netflix acct, I’m using someone else’s and I don’t know the password. I’m just logged into it all the time. So since most devices have a password to get into them, she could’ve just said that and eliminated that s**t-show all together! LOL
According to a survey by Magid for CNBC, roughly 10 percent of Netflix users do not pay for their accounts. All in all, about thirty-five percent of millennials share passwords for streaming services, compared to 19 percent of Generation X and 13 percent of Baby Boomers. Magid calculates that of Netflix's 137 million customers, 13.7 million are not paying $9.95 a month, which equates to a potential $135 million in missed sales for Netflix each month.

Friend Of My Ex Has Been Using My Netflix Details Without My Knowledge For Years. Calls Me Cheap!
Demi Zwaan 6 years ago
Why do people not change their passwords when they break up? This goes for every account that the ex ever had access to, including Netflix. Seems like one of the first things to do.
Linda Spitsyna 6 years ago
No, better question is why do people share their private information (like logins where you can access your payment methods) while they are dating? There is absolutely no reason for that. Ever.

It's adorable that they blurred "f**king" but left c**t, which personally I think is a far more offensive swear. As a woman, I can't even bring myself to say it aloud- I think it's the nastiest thing you can call a woman.

The f*****g BALLS of this a*s clown... I just can't get over people this, like, WHY THE F**K WOULD THIS EVER BE OK?? You've been stealing Netflix for two years and when it gets cut off you f*****g harass the person you were stealing from??!!!
Nunya 6 years ago
Rule of thumb: If you break up with someone, change all your passwords. It may seem extreme, but you just never know what they got access to. Also, if you use the same password for everything like most people seem to, then they already know the passwords to your bank, credit card accounts, etc, etc and can cause a lot of problems.

Bratty Cousin Stole My Netflix Password And When I Changed It He Wants Me To Give It To Him
Erin 6 years ago
I got a similar text regarding my HBO Now account from my nephew. HBO was constantly kicking me off so I changed my password. He had stolen it and was sharing it with his friends at college for Game of Thrones. I would only give him the new password if he would keep it to himself because the multiple users were kicking me off and then he told me that he had SOLD my password and the guys were getting mad at him and wanted their money back.

give him the password, set a macro to reload and sign in your netflix on browser every 30sec, that would annoy the f**k out of him and after 1 week you can change your password and he won't ask for it anymore.

French is a nation. Racism is rejection based on race. You cannot be racist against French. You can make fun of them, you may hate them and that will not make you racist. Also you can like them but I wouldn't understand it, all French I know hate other French. And who else can judge them better?

Brother Who Refuses To Work Tries To Emotionally Blackmail Me Over Netflix Subscription

I care about my nieces incredibly, but that doesn't mean I'm REQUIRED to provide them something that is purely for entertainment. If they were hungry or needed a home I would be there in an instant! But sometimes luxuries just aren't feasible. Besides it really sounds like the brother is the one that's upset about Netflix and is using his kids as an excuse.

My son went to college and used my account which I was fine with and so is Netflix because we are considered part of a household. But unbeknownst to me he gave the password to his roommate who then went home on break and shared it with his little brother. I kept getting recommendations for anime and cartoons and things I never watch and didn't think my son did so I asked him. He said "oh, that must be B's little brother". I had to try really hard not to get upset but I changed my password immediately. Some people don't see the problem with it, including my own son. Lol.
