Netflix Is Worried About 53 Subscribers' Strange Binging Habit--And Honestly, So Are We
There are certain services that know more about your secret sad habits than any family member or friend ever could. Seamless knows I ordered Mexican food three times this weekend, as does the delivery guy. Amazon knows about all my foot creams. And Netflix knows how many times I've watched that episode of New Girl where Nick and Jess kiss for the first time.
It's a little embarrassing, but I always assumed it would be between me and Netflix. Nope. Nothing is safe. Netflix is putting users on blast by announcing on Twitter that there are 53 people out there who have watched their movie, A Christmas Prince, every night for 18 nights.
To the 53 people who've watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days: Who hurt you?

What you doing, Netflix? That's supposed to be private!
Despite the obvious disrespect, people on Twitter are loving this subtweet. It's the perfect window for dunking on themselves, on A Christmas Prince, and on the streaming service's price hike.
Can someone swing by and do a welfare check on the 53 people who just got subtweeted by Netflix? https://t.co/7dEe2yaasg

Netflix is watching you like Santa. Netflix knows if you’ve been bad or good and that’s why you’re getting a second season of “The OA." https://t.co/Z9WY6fh5Qs

Though for some people, it's cutting a little too close to the bone:
I just want to make sure you're okay

Well, I think I need to watch this movie. https://t.co/VsSRKk1iIR
