We thought we knew all the Netflix hacks.
Turns out, there’s a very simple one that’s just been sitting there, secretly waiting for you to use: you can ask the streaming service to add your favorite TV show or movie to their library.
In the app’s Help Center, you’ll find a simple request form that offers three title suggestions (and the ubiquitous “I’m not a robot” sign-in). It also provides an overview on how Netflix licenses their content and tells you some ways to find out what’s debuting on the service.
Bad news: the site doesn’t appear to have an option that automatically informs you when your suggested title finally becomes available (an option our local library has no problem fulfilling with suggested e-books).
Apparently, this hack has been around for awhile, but was only publicized after Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Chelsea Peretti ALL CAPS responded to the Netflix Philippines account.
LITERALLY NO ONE KNOWS THAT DRILL https://t.co/WBq2hJMuS1
