Netflix Plans to Get Rid of Inactive Subscribers

Netflix Plans to Get Rid of Inactive Subscribers According to Gizmodo, Netflix will send out email alerts and in-app notifications to users who haven't streamed anything in over a year since signing up.

Those who have been inactive for the past two years will get a notice as well.

If the user doesn't respond, their membership will be canceled.

Netflix, via TechCrunch According to TechCrunch, Netflix says these "zombie accounts" represent less than one percent of its total base.

If an account is canceled, the streaming company says it will give people 10 months to rejoin.

Doing so within that grace period will allow users to gain back their data, viewing preferences and account details.

Netflix's Eddy Wu, via Gizmodo As of April 2020, Netflix says it has almost 183 million total subscriptions.
