The streaming giant has been met with pushback ever since announcing their plan to crack down on the sharing of account passwords.

Oftentimes when tech and media companies change their policies, it can go over people's heads and no one truly notices except the die-hard tech people.

Other times, Netflix says that they are going to start cracking down on password sharing on their network.


Obviously, this announcement was not met with joy by Netflix's subscribers.

Frequent travelers, college kids whose parents are sponsoring their accounts, those who log in only via mobile... many people asked questions about the feasibility of Netflix's new policy including their proposed 7 day hall-pass-like temporary access for devices not logging in from the home network.

But then someone went digging in the media company's Twitter.

The internet sleuth found a damning tweet from back in 2017.

The tweet pops back up every time Netflix mentions cracking down on sharing.

So, this aged poorly, many said.


Others just needed to express themselves through gifs and reaction images.

Others responded to the ovover-5-year-oltweet with examples of the types of people this policy will dramatically affect.

Truckers, military, oil rig workers, college students and more!


Someone summed it up in the style of the tweet.

If sharing a password is love, not being able to share a password is therefore something quite worse.

Good luck to Netflix's social media team in the coming days.

In a video message, they noted that the Trump administration is "pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens."

Woman Rejects Boyfriend's Proposal After He Bought $900 Ring From Walmart—And The Internet Has Thoughts

People With Astigmatism Are Flabbergasted After Realizing What Christmas Lights Look Like To Other People

Sometimes you don't know what you don't know until someone shows it to you in a TikTok video.

For instance, a person might not know about the possibility of having an astigmatism, which is an ocular condition that causes blurriness in vision, and the blurriness worsens with bright, contrasting lights. Blurring taillights at night, especially when it's raining, is a common occurrence among those with astigmatism.
