I can’t, it’s Netflix

“I can’t, it’s Netflix” comes from Love Island USA (season 7 reunion) when cast member Huda was asked about her relationship status. Instead of answering, she replied “I can’t, it’s Netflix.” The phrase caught on as a way of playfully avoiding a question, usually about relationships or personal matters. It basically means “I can’t/don’t want to talk about it right now.”

A: “So, what’s really going on between you and your ex?”
B: “I can’t, it’s Netflix.”

Netflix

A company that lures people in with shitty original movies and has (almost) killed off cable, aka the goat for streaming. They have also created "device limits" and started this trend which Disney, of course instead of investing in crowd control in their parks, decided to invest in this bullshit on Disney+. If netflix was actually losing money from password sharing, the ceo can always quit his job and make his way to the nearest hiring mcdonalds. They even killed support for iphone 8 and X so they can only be used on the phones that nobody can afford.
