I would've left if I actually paid for it. Currently getting it for free thanks to T-Mobile.

Oh you aren't getting it for free. You just pay for it to T-mobile, instead of directly to Netflix. Never yet heard of a company, that offers actual freebies. You just pay for it in the price of the other thing you are paying them for.

Buy glasses, get second pair for free... .... ... you pay price of two for one pair and aren't just very well aware how cheap eye glasses are to make these days.

Yep yep, I understand this. I just can't negotiate with T-Mobile pricing do I already knew I'm technically paying for Netflix. But I'm not gonna be able to reduce my T-Mobile bill monthly if I refuse the Netflix so I'm just pretending it's free as long as I'm not paying "extra".

T-Mobile offer cheaper plans without Netflix. Plans that still have all the unlimited data/calling of the Netflix plan. We pay $100 fir two line with them. If I wanted to go to the cheapest plan with Netflix, it would cost me $120 a month...i.e. it's cheaper for me to stay on my no Netflix plan and pay for Netflix separately.

Huh, I need to look into this since I only need 2 lines as well.
