CancelNetflix

March 19, 2022

In this blog, I will let you know about why you should #CancelNetflix and use other options for consuming media. Soon netflix is going to start charging their customers additional money for sharing their accounts with other people outside of their household. You'll probably also have to go through additional verification checks when signing into your netflix account on other devices since they'll probably count different IPs as “outside your household” .
