I mean, it only affected our smart TV. Everything else, including the laptop, my phone, and my tablet, can still use my parent's Netflix account just fine.

So yeah, I guess I just literally rolled over to another device and used that instead.

Only a matter of time til they find you/these edge cases and squash you.

[–] Anders429@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh for sure, I am positive you're right and that it will stop working soon enough.

Same here, a friend of mine i am sharing with can still use netflix on his PC where he uses it anyway. If they would shut that option off i just quit using their service all year long. I will then start just to subscribe for a month two times a year, watch some shows i want to see and quit it again. And Amazon Prime Video become much better lately content wise.
