Getting that "too many users" message on Netflix is always frustrating. It's even more frustrating when you have to track down all the people you've given that damn password to. Is it your ex streaming anime trash? Your cousin? Your mom's friend Stella who has a crush on Anthony Bourdain (RIP?). The list is daunting. When this woman started receiving emails that account was being accessed, she figured it had to be her ex. She was wrong. 

After close inspection, our hero discovered that the culprits were in Lahore, Pakistan. To add insult to injury, there were too many people using her account for her to stream her own media. So she changed her password. After making the liberating change, one of the Pakistani men who had been using her account actually reached out in the hopes of acquiring her new one. 

Fat. Chance.

Memers are horny AF, apparently. We're moving past Netflix and Chill and onto "Disney+ and Thrust" with the release of Disney's new streaming service. While we find this new meme trend amusing, we have to say that asking someone to come over and "Netflix and chill" is far less awkward than asking them to come over in order to "Disney+ and thrust." But maybe that's just us...

Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and now Disney+? Sometimes more choices are not necessarily a good thing. Disney just ditched Netflix and came out with its own streaming service this week and the internet is pretty divided on where they stand with it. 

Now instead of paying one flat fee for a multitude of TV shows and movies on one streaming service, you can pay a bunch of little fees for a million different companies who don't give a sh*t about you! And predictably, those costs add up.

Our solution to all of this? Don't pay for any of them! For legal reasons we can't tell you to pirate anything, so we won't. 

Anyway, take a little stroll through the following memes and tweets that roast the stupid number of streaming services available to us now.

We cannot say this enough: always use restraint when using social media at work or when posting about work. You never know when your shitpost will go viral. Tiktok user  @briannaraelenee learned this the hard way after posting from the kitchen at the Panera Bread where she worked. Her video, which shows Brianna Ramirez preparing mac and cheese - by heating a plastic bag. The video exposed some of Panera's less wholesome cooking methods, and caused feelings of outrage and betrayal among Panera patrons. The revelatory video went so viral, that according to Brianna, it was featured on her town's news - which led to her firing. A brave sacrifice so that we could all learn the truth.

Netflix tweeted yesterday that The Office, America's most beloved TV show, is leaving to be a part of NBC's own streaming service and people are not happy about it in the slightest. We can't really blame them, given the volume of new streaming services that the average person is now required to purchase in order to watch their favorite shows. Fortunately though, Netflix will keep the show until January 2021 so fans have ample time to watch (and re-watch) it to their heart's content!

Here are some of Twitter's reactions to the sad news.
