> Netflix says it will now start to cancel accounts that have watched nothing in more than a year, but have still been paying subscription fees.
> Netflix said less than half a percent of its user-base falls into that category.
> Almost 16 million people created accounts in the first three months of the year, nearly double the new sign-ups it saw in the final months of 2019.
- notadog 6y agoWith 182.8 million subscribers in the first quarter of 2020, that means that less than 914,000 accounts have watched nothing in the past year.

I feel like they are doing the minimum change necessary to try to reduce legal problems. They have actually probably had a lot of people try to sue them for charging them for a service they have not used for months and months, when they forget about it and then notice the charges.
