Recently, the platform announced a set of terms and conditions in order to prevent people from sharing one account with multiple people. This also included rules like logging in on multiple devices from the same network and logging in at least once a month. Biles stated that she might quit subscribing to Netflix since she was too lazy to re-enter her password.
i may quit netflix simply because im lazy & hate re-entering my password 🥴 https://t.co/WScfYtfjui

Fans immediately agreed, stating how the new rules were just a hassle, and they’d rather not sign up for it. One even declared, “Make me log once a month and they’ll remind me I don’t even need them.”
They should be happy to just take my money since I haven't even watched in a few months. Make me log once a month and they'll remind me I don't even need them.

Most of the people seemed to be on the same boat. Forgetting passwords was a common issue that many faced, and since the procedure to change them was going to be troublesome, they’d rather not subscribe in the first place.
I will end up forgetting my password because I always do and getting tired of making new ones end up giving up

I feel you. I was just lamenting today aboit the amount of time consumed by trying to remember (and then resetting because I can’t!) my ever-changing passwords!

Most of the time I can’t even remember my password.

In fact, Biles’ problems turned out to be relatable enough, when a fan pointed out how she was just like the rest.
