TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of Netflix's key feedback

1

Household Restrictions

Many users are frustrated with Netflix's household restrictions, which prevent them from accessing their accounts when not on the same Wi-Fi network. This affects approximately 15% of users, particularly those with shared accounts across different locations.

I can't use Netflix at my mom's house because of the household rule, even though I pay for the account.

2

Content Availability

Users are disappointed with the removal of popular shows and movies, as well as the limited availability of new content. This issue affects around 10% of users who feel the content library is not meeting their expectations.

Netflix keeps removing my favorite shows, and there's nothing new to watch.

3

Login and Access Issues

A significant number of users experience difficulties logging into their accounts or staying logged in, often due to technical glitches or account verification problems. This affects about 8% of users, leading to frustration and potential cancellations.

I can't log into my account even after resetting my password multiple times.

4

Ad-Supported Plans

Users are unhappy with the introduction of ads in lower-tier subscription plans, which they feel undermines the ad-free experience Netflix was known for. This affects approximately 5% of users who are considering canceling their subscriptions due to this change.

I pay for Netflix to avoid ads, but now I have to upgrade my plan to get rid of them.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

Netflix used to have really great shows and a love for the consumer. But now there's little to see and it's not very consistent. My family has to pay double subscription due to household rules, which is ridiculous and greedy. Please remove this.
