Any other reasons they're the Bad Guys?
The name is dumb.
On 2.a: (Roping) A free month on the more-expensive plan, with an automatic enlistment.
On 2.b: Automatic enlistment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tell me more about the more-expensive plan enlistment, please. I've been a customer of theirs for years, and I'm not aware of it. Not that Netflix needs my help, but you're lobbing a lot of accusation and much less evidence.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Automatic enlistment.
Lots of companies do that. Not that it makes it more OK for them to do it, but....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Somehow it has been a very busy day even though I haven't done all that much. Hmmm. Drinking cocoa now and grading. And not planning on joining the Netflix debate.

erika - yay, I was hoping you'd pop in and see that.
Yes, I think I am getting the A&E sets. Netflix tells me there are 13 eps from S1 and S2. Which, as I'm looking at it, I interpreted as being a selection of episodes as opposed to two full seasons, because I didn't know about the shortness. Oh, good. (I mean, the shortness isn't good, but the me getting to see all the eps is good)
Totally put it in the queue because of reading your posts about the show over the past couple of years, by the way. So glad I did.

Yes, yes. Now with the evidence, from the settlement:
... If you accept the upgraded account, you will be put on that upgraded plan at the end of your free month ...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I have no opinion of Netflix.
And in other "I can't make up my goddamned mind." news. Can someone help me whittle my Amazon gift card list. The card is only $100, I filled it up with everything that made me go "Ooooooh shiney!" Like over $600 worth and then went over each and every thing, deciding which it was similar to, which I wanted more, etc. I'm down to $140-something, and I can't decide what to delete.
Help.

So you're mad at Netflix because the lawyers suing them ended up with a crap settlement?
I know you don't hate big business on principle, because you didn't jump on the (pretty easy) anti-Walmart train.
I'm assuming that Netflix has a free trial month with automatic enlistment thing that's also making you mad, because it seems a reach otherwise.
Again, I have no problem with automatic enlistment because, as with the other companies that do it, they don't pretend it's not there.
I still don't understand why it makes them the bad guys.
If they had automatic enlistment that signed me up from scratch, I'd be pissed. This way? It just means I have to pay attention. Again, not a crime. It's not obscure, complicated, or rare.

I'm not trying to present netflix as criminals. The class-action suit they lost stated pretty clearly that their actions were not criminal, only inequitable, and that reparations were due. Their lawyer was slick enough to make those reparations quite in Netflix' favor.
The rest is up to you.
