alt Hacker NewsThis is a no brainer for Netflix and any other streaming service. I have NO IDEA what I pay for all my streaming, whether it comes thru a credit card/cell phone benefit or not, nor even who pays for it (e.g. me, or my partner, or someone in my extended family).
They are profiting off of my ignorance.
I think this is true for many. Hence paid services that will keep track of subscriptions for you. I saw somewhere a proposal to force subscription services to refund you if you didn't interact with it at all during the payment period. That seems reasonable. If it's only profitable through people's inattention, it's a leech and shouldn't exist.
