Why it’s time to learn if your bawab is using your Netflix account
Have you ever naively passed on your Netflix or Spotify information to a sibling or coworker? Chances are they probably went on and shared it with their own select group of friends and favorite coworkers, who then did the same. Now, the account you pay for yourself is probably carrying a ridiculously wide web of moochers and their mothers who just discovered the magical world of streaming. And, at this rate, it’s not far-fetched that your bawab is jamming to his favorite tunes on Anghami with your account.
Should this be worrying you? Yes. You probably don’t even remember the password you used when you made that account eons ago … but odds are it’s the same password you use for at least one other account. Now your ex’s mother’s best friend probably has access to your junior high MSN conversations and your long-dormant MySpace account — you know, all the stuff you hope stays buried deep in the darkest corners of the interwebz.
Can you do something about it? Absolutely. Whether it’s Netflix, Hulu, or Spotify, you can check and manage what other devices are using your account and cut them loose, WIRED lays out the details on how you may do that. So, there you have it, folks — you can now make sure that fewer couples can afford to go out and enjoy themselves on Valentine’s Day thanks to the money they saved on all these accounts, while you sit home alone— because if you can’t have fun, no one else should.
