  • ‘My Brothers’ Ex Stealing our Netflix for the Past Two Months,’ Disguising Her Account as ‘Settings.’ ‘Respect.’ Claim A Twitter user claimed his brother's ex stole their Netflix by disguising her account as settings, and Netflix replied Respect. Rating True Like this fact check? Reporting In early June 2020, an amusing tweet circulated in screenshots on social media, purportedly from a Netflix user whose family discovered his brother’s ex had been stealing access to their service via a clever subterfuge — the punchline being that Netflix itself purportedly responded to the tweet to voice their respect for the pirate user’s scheme: In the above screenshot, no dates appeared — just indication that the image was captured between three and four days after the exchange occurred. In the first, a user attached a screenshot of Netflix’s account selection screen, with one of the squares labeled Settings. That square contained a loading style graphic, and the tweet read: My brothers ex had been stealing our Netflix for the past two months now by disguising her account as settings and honestly I ain’t even mad. I’m just really disappointed in myself for actually believing that an account named settings would legitimately be Netflix settings One day later, Netflix’s verified Twitter account purportedly tweeted a single word response: Respect. Florida is where wokes go to die... Please enable JavaScript Florida is where wokes go to die It’s not uncommon for social media users to fabricate amusing exchanges between brands and customers, and at first glance we didn’t see a Respect tweet in @Netflix’s responses. However, the first tweet was certainly real and viral, shared on May 26 2020 by @yellowgengar2: My brothers ex had been stealing our Netflix for the past two months now by disguising her account as settings and honestly I ain’t even mad. I’m just really disappointed in myself for actually believing that an account named settings would legitimately be Netflix settings pic.twitter.com/fSn3BSCcZh — bruh (@bruhmaar) May 27, 2020 On May 27 2020, @Netflix did in fact respond to the tweet: Respect. — Netflix (@netflix) May 27, 2020 On the same day, @yellowgengar2 mused in the thread: For once, just ONCE I would like to go one day without having a bruh moment — bruh (@bruhmaar) May 27, 2020 Netflix wasn’t the only approving thread participant. Others asked who add account was, and others indicated they stan a true queen: Irrespective of the tale’s veracity, other users opined that @yellowgengar2’s brother had allowed a good catch to get away: It’s true a Twitter user claimed their brother’s ex cunningly retained access to their family’s Netflix account by labeling her screen Settings, and further true that Netflix responded with a tweet reading simply Respect. Whether the story itself was accurate was not immediately clear, but the exchange between @yellowgengar2 and @Netflix was authentic.
