I did this in march or so and saw yesterday that my netflix is still working. I was a bit confused until i saw that they just charge my phone bill to keep netflix running. My sister said something similar happened to her, where she shared the password but stopped paying but the personwith whom she shared with said something like: they asked me a billing question and they just clicked on "yes" and it appeared on her phone bill too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) They have restarted a lot of cancelled subscriptions I hear. Even people just opening the app re-starts it. That’s one way to get 6 million new subscribers and a fancy headline in the news. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MadLegoChemist@geddit.social 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Yes, this happened to me. Canceled when I got the password sharing email. My niece accidentally hit the Netflix button on the controller at their house, and we were instantly billed and resubscribed again. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 years ago I would think 6 million new subscribers is a bunch of people who haven’t noticed. And that’s really low then. permalink fedilink source parent
