More like, if you cancel, your account gets deleted for good, so you lose your profile with users, history, recommendations. You can pay x/month to pause your membership.

Come on, we all know deleting your data would be a premium-only feature.

Netflix recommendations are useless, so this sounds like a win to me. Random is more interesting then "let us fail at understanding you based on limited demographics".

I’d seriously consider paying them a fee for that! I certainly hope they go in that direction.

Netflix already deletes your account after 10 months, probably for this specific purpose.

Is that a new policy? I’ve had Netflix off and on since 2008 (for DVD rentals) and still have info from them. I’m pretty sure we’ve been gone for longer than 10-month windows.
