Netflix probably deliberately ignores this loophole because it boosts subscribers and revenue. I'd guess 25 million Netflix users use gmail accounts (~20% of 120M). I'd guess 1 in 100 of those have been victims of this scam. This would mean 250,000 victims are overpaying a cumulative $30M per year. Given how popular gmail is, Netflix and others should disallow duplicate account where the only distinction is the dots. They should also force email verification within 30 days of signup.
