Local man actually pays for Netflix & doesn’t use his cousin’s wife’s friend’s neighbour’s account
A local man has admitted that he actually pays for Netflix instead of using a cousin’s wife’s friend’s neighbour’s account or something similar like everyone else.
Padraig Dunne from Tullamore says he thought everyone who watches Netflix was paying for it and had no idea half the country was sharing their login details with the other half of the country.
“I was out with my friends the other night and just happened to ask if the rest of them use direct debit to pay for Netflix.” he said. “There was a few seconds of silence and then they all erupted into laughter.”
Despite almost 2 million Irish households regularly tuning into Netflix, there are only 4 accounts registered in the country.
However, it seems this is all about to change after the popular streaming service warned that it will soon launch a major crackdown on sharing passwords with extended family members and friends in other households.
CEO of Netflix John Carpenter told us “Our technical experts have devised a way of preventing subscribers from allowing others to log into their accounts and I’m told it’s 100% foolproof. From next month onwards if you watch it, you pay for it. The days of there only being 4 Netflix accounts registered in Ireland are over.”
He’s not wrong. Unfortunately for Netflix, since their announcement sales of illegal dodgy boxes have gone through the roof across the country, so it seems everyone in Ireland will now watch Netflix for free. That’s 4 loyal customers they’ve lost just for being greedy. Such a shame.
