[obarth]

There's stunting and then there's this

 

[Wiles]

They're doing this when they're about to get bodied by by Disney+ and HBO Max?

Bruh

You had me for a second gif*

 

[Wiles]

Pretty arrogant on their part lol

Can't really think of a motivation behind this

Good pr


They get to say they are helping forgetful people save money.

[Rozay Oro]

this is when they add an adult porn channel to its subscription..

Lmaoooo folks just use their phones and plug earbuds/AirPods for that tf

Arrogant? This is business practice with morals which is rare these days.

Ehhhh

It appears that way and that's why I'm skeptical..

A company this size making a move like that..

But I read the article and it's less than 0.5% of their customer base and they are accounted for when thinking about their own business.

They saw a cheap opportunity to look good and took it

TechCrunch is now a part of Verizon Media?

It's "a few hundred thousand users" that wont be getting billed for a service they don't use. Regardless of Netflix's motive behind the move, what is the negative here?

I'm guessing the numbers on this are low enough where they can do this with minimal loss, and then announce it for good PR.

Nothing

Only speaking to their motivation

Just wondering why out loud

It's most def a PR move, though

 

[Ironman]

I wish gyms would do this honestly I mean it's a whole damn year id you're not using something why waste your money and their bandwidth?

 

[Luke Cage]

Good little PR move. they would've never done this if the percentage was any higher though. better not charge any cancellation fee's either after making an announcement like this.
