Discussion General Discussions about streaming services

It's auto renewal was schedule to expire on 2037. Like, wtd! He instantly cancelled seeing that.

This is a serious issue. There should be an option to modify it.
It's always recommended to have a secondary bank account for these things. Payments Banks or Digital-focused zero balance accounts for example.

My rant was about obnoxious trials and payment methods with auto renewal.

I believe nowadays the whole point of free trials (music or video streaming services) is to trick the user into making them forget to cancel the free trial before the trial period ends. I guess at least Amazon's got their "don't cancel now, we'll remind you 3 days before auto-renewal" thing going for them

These two and three month trials are designed to trick you you forget that you have subscribed to some service.

The main reason of netflex for me is to watch any countries ott content with no cuts and change in original subs. They have a wide range of tv shows, movies also bollywood, south movies to watch on mobile. I watched one spanish movie on netflix, which is really for 18+ with no censor on it.
I still think, netflix shows don't have censor with hollywood shows, if you know what you are searching for yourself.
