I figured I'd pay for a month of Netflix so that the movie creators would get paid.
I paid and THEN Netflix asked for a phone number. Why do they need a phone number when we all know SMS spoofing is trivial?
At this point, I hadn't even logged in, and I was done with Netflix. Then and there, I cancelled my subscription.
However, the next day, I was able to log in with no problem. No phone number needed.
Alright. I figured I could use the month's worth of Netflix I paid for. I searched for the movie and tried watching it. I couldn't.
- "You can't use a VPN"
- "Your browser doesn't let us spy on you enough"
- "Honestly we're just tempting you to get this movie through piracy lol"
- "Nah, we don't care about you. We care about profits xoxo"
- "Nah. No refunds. We warned you"
I don't know what I was thinking.
Oh yeah, I wanted to support artists. But Netflix made it impossible. What a joke.
It's gotten to where paying for shit just marks you as a chump for whatever the next level of their scam is.
"Hey this dummy pays for content, let's get his phone number and socials so we can sell him more garbage he could have gotten for free."
