Netflix just did their fans so dirty.
In case you missed it, on Sunday, the streaming service took to Twitter to shade the hell out of the users who’ve watched the Hallmark-esque A Christmas Prince “every day for the past 18 days.” Oh snap!

Specifically, Netflix wrote:
To the 53 people who’ve watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days: Who hurt you?

The MOST savage. Understandably, people reacted in a BIG way to this trolling by Netflix. Some thought it was hilarious, others found it rude as hell. See some of the best reactions (below)!
If Netflix doesn’t want you, there├óΓé¼Γäós always room on our couch! And if Christmas Princes aren’t your thing, we├óΓé¼Γäóve got meet cutes, serial killers, queenpins, and babysitters gone bad. We’re not here to judge! https://t.co/rYqLAYsQdn

I thought “are you still watching?” was enough of a drag but here we are. https://t.co/CQGvblcmYw

They even engaged directly with some of their critics:
Why are you calling people out like that Netflix

I just want to make sure you’re okay
— Netflix US (@netflix) December 11, 2017
You’re not my mom
— Amanda Bell (@AmandaJuneBell) December 11, 2017
Ok sweetie

HIGHlarious! Unsurprisingly, a spokesperson from the company has since clarified the drama and assured fans they aren’t tracking viewing habits like some sort of Big Brother. They noted in a statement:
“The privacy of our members’ viewing is important to us. This information represents overall viewing trends, not the personal viewing information of specific, identified individuals.”
It seemed pretty specific to us. Hmmmmm.
Regardless, we’re sure Netflix is just happy that both their tweet and holiday movie are trending. Way to go viral, bb!
