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
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
"A few days later, he decided he was leaving" is the best part of that horror story
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.
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
At first I was like "just give him the password" , now at the end I'm like "wow you b***h"
I'd steal all his properties before i let him share with me some breathing space
Netflix for free escalated to a whole new level. Like this movies, when the guy is funny and approachable and in the end is a f**k*ng psycho!
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.
So I Finally Changed My Netflix Password..
Their contact starts with "cheating" now that tells who the real a*s is!
Friend Of My Ex Has Been Using My Netflix Details Without My Knowledge For Years. Calls Me Cheap!
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.

My head hurts from reading all this gobbledegook. I understand using abbreviations and being a bit slack in your grammar etc but come on, a lot of these just don't make any sense at all.
Seriously … to be honest the grammar and spelling bothered me more than the entitlement and s****y behaviour.

Basically. Change your Netflix password and wait... ... wait... ... You may heard back from your ex-roommate, ex-wife- ex-boyfriend...
I had to change mine because my sister was giving it out to random strangers! She's no longer allowed to use it!
Load More Replies... 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.
I'm appalled by the butchering of English in most of those messages. Also, change ALL your passwords after breaking up, especially if you use the same one for multiple accounts. Plenty of people use the same password for Netflix as they do for their bank account... think about that.
If anyone wants to use my Netflix account, my email is rbakura@outlook.com, and my password is every tenth digit of pi, until you reach the millionth digit.
Well i use my exhusband's Netflix (and other streaming services) for free but we are co-parenting our two kids (so its mostly for them) and he earns alot more... AND we are still good friends. I've offered to split the cost though (he said no need) BUT why wont these people not even ask to split the bill? (In the cases where its like a room mate/similar)
So, basically, these ungrateful people had the audacity to get angry on the people who paid the Netflix they've been watching for free! 😡😠 Should've shared their names on your FB page so all can judge who's the trash now..
Obviously some of these posts are from English-as-a-second-language posters. That said, I'm appalled at the level of English illiteracy displayed by apparent native speakers.
I think the major issue being overlooked here is that anyone in the account can see the person who pays bank details and address details. That shits private information
My (both under 10) kids use netflix when visiting grandparents and I have 4 screen access so I honestly don't see the issue with my grandmother for 1/2 months a year watching 'The Crown' with my details as she doesn't like anything else on Netflix (not that she's looked lol) and my other grandparents wanted to see if they liked a series on Netflix they'd seen advertised so they watched 1 episode, didn't like it never used again. If they liked the season they insisted they were going to pay for Netflix but (being technophobe) didn't want to give their bank details to Netflix if they weren't continuing. Both these situations I think are perfectly reasonable and I honestly don't see an issue with this sort of use but for Christ's sake once upon a time you split with someone you had an awkward 'return the other person's s**t' moment and you stopped all contact including using their s**t, when did society decide we could carry on using the exs stuff after the relationship went south?
I share with family and friends and they share things like amazon in return but they're not entitled to it.
Awhile back I had a lot of shows on "shows you watch" - I never watched the ones listed. Figured out someone guessed my password so I changed it to something unbreakable. Never found out who it was but I still enjoyed knowing they were locked out in the middle of watching all of their shows. PSA: You can tell a lot about a person by the shows they watch.
I doesnt tell you a lot cause you didnt know who it was...

My daughter allows us to use her netflix account, when she got laid off from her job money was tight, she thought she would just cancel it, so we paid a year subscription on our card, now she pays one year and we pay the next year, we've been doing it for 5 or 6 years now. It would not occur to us to use her account without contributing to the cost, not sure where some people get the idea that they can have so many luxuries for free.
Pretty simple. I don't have Netflix, I have The Pirate Bay. All of these streaming services are getting out of hand and it's turning right back into greedy cable. F**k that. Pirate Bay forever.
This is not even a real issue. Netflix probabbly made up this entire post.
One thing that infuriates me is when people call stealing Wi-Fi and Netflix access a "victim-less crime". It's doesn't change the fact that one person is having to work their butts off to pay for it while the other gets it without any effort on their part.
There are three words that one should remember when considering sharing your netflix log-in: Terms of Service. If you loan your log-in out to others, you risk being banned from the service entirely. And netflix is starting to crack down on it now because it is epidemic. So no. You don't get to have my password. You get to go get your OWN netflix account. And if watching movies online really matters to you, there are FREE options on the internet already: VUDU free with ads and Crackle are just two that come to mind right off the bat.
a friend bought a firestick on ebay, got it set up to find that the seller did not restore it to default settings. he's been watching netflix on seller's acct for about 2 yrs now...& says if the password gets changed, it's no big deal, but why not use it if he can?
I am utterly flabbergasted. I had no idea this sort of expectation was a "thing." Sheesh. Okay. I guess I can sort of understand someone ASKING to use another's account but I can't even begin to fathom how a someone can be abusive to the person who says "no" when the person who says "no" is the one who's paying.
I've put requests out there for others for spare devices on others accounts. but always there is the understanding, if you want or need it back, it will be logged out. and there's usually some exchange involved, eg. now tv for Netflix, for amazon prime etc. but someone allowing you an unused device login is a privilege, not a right
Is it just me or what, no one understands only two devices can stream at one time. This isn't a share all effort. They smartened up, back in the day it was possible. Not now. They allow two profiles to be on the same account and that's being generous.
We made an account. We got separated. He have a account + I have a account = only kids use Netflix for cartoons. It's only small money but is still a waste of money.
So people are against paying the equivalent of $2.50 a week for brilliant television but are happy that much every day for a coffee. Doesn't make sense.
It's not just a "password", it's a product that is paid for monthly. It's like asking to redirect your magazine subscription to someone else's house while you pay for it. people that have netflix have already allocated users who can use the account. It's a luxury not an essential, nobody is entitled to ride off others just to watch their favourite show. Helping someone out to buy a car or groceries is kind help, not trying to force them to give you access to something they pay for for their own recreation. If you cant afford netflix for yourself, then it's time to re-evaluate your life
Ok so I do have my own Netflix and yeah I don't use other people's stuff unless they offered in the first place, but I don't think people deserve to be shamed just for asking. Sure the ones that act entitled/rude/ insistent are definitely a******s but someone asking around (like not to a specific person) doesn't strike me as a bad move. If someone says yes, cool. It they say no, fine.
Although I'll admit sometimes when I get blocked out of my own because too many screens I'm tempted to change my password ahah
