Really? You couldn't come up with something better than "Netflix Adultery?" :rolleyes:

Of those who cheated, 66 percent did so "at home by themselves on the main TV." A shocking 21 percent confessed to watching in bed while their significant other slept. (This is my modus operandi, and it is shameful.) Forty-one percent of cheaters refrained from revealing spoilers; 12 percent would rewatch and "fake it" in their reactions; 14 percent felt so guilty they confessed to cheating.

Ummm, it marks episodes as "watched" so how would one partner be unaware of it?

If my wife cant' keep up, too f'ing bad. We have different schedules.
 
Ugh. Please go fuck yourself "news media". This is not a store. Its not even worth a post on Facebook much less National news on TV last night.

Fucking dumb.

I think if you takeout trackid parameters, it doesn't track. Not sure though.
 
What the freaking frack are they talking about? Watching a movie without their spouse? Who are these people that are constantly cuddly teenagers?
I do this all the time because my wife and have have total opposite tastes in a lot of things.
I like war movies, history programs and documentaries mostly; this stuff bores her silly. I'm usually watching netflix or gaming, or messing with some project and she is upstairs watching Gay Designers or some other program I can't stand on cable.
Now when there is something we both really want to watch we do together. But that isn't often.
Unfortunate for the media hacks this has failed to ruin our relationship. Will be 10 years of wedded bliss in a few months.

I have not heard of this ability. It has been a long time complaint that you couldn't "hide" what you did on Netflix. The legitamete concern here is in a family environment where parents don't want things that are not appropriate for young children to watch. We're not talking porn here, cause its Netflix. Adults want to watch stuff like breaking bad or walking dead, but don't want kids to see them when they open Netflix.

It would actually be cool if they had profiles for accounts. So when I opened Netflix on my phone I don't get inundated with Dora the Explorer and Yo Gabba Gabba.
 
sounds like they're working to please you serpent and westrock2000

Personalized profiles that will allow family members to maintain separate queues and get more personal recommendations will launch internationally within the coming months, the company announced Monday. Netflix has been testing these personalized profiles since the beginning of the year, and Hastings said Monday that the response has been positive. “The key use case is between kids and parents,” he explained, adding that parents have told the company in the past that their experience is suboptimal.

Yeah, they *used to* have profiles on accounts.

Then they decided they'd rather have more money. :rolleyes:
 
Netflix videos shouldn't be viewed as something so important to your life that watching them by yourself is a betrayal of your significant other.
