Three issues that make this bad idea. (For me)
1. Seems basically illegal. If not. It is morally wrong.
2. The security risks that @shantanu points out are so valid it’s scary. Sure, there are other concerns but those are enough to say no to this.
3. It’s against Makers. Imagine if someone made an extension that took away any potential revenue. No matter the amount, it’s stealing.
I want to point out that I like DoNotPays service. It is worth it on its own.
The episode on This Week in Startups is great but this chrome extension marketing is counter productive for creating trust.
@shantanu@bryanglanz Hi Bryan, thanks so much for the feedback. 1) It is certainly not illegal to share your accounts with authorized users. In fact, almost all services explicitly state you can have multiple streamers at the same time. 2) It is much more secure than sharing your password. We use VeryGoodSecurity.com and have PCI II compliance. In other words, we do not store the cookies. Finally, we commit to never sell or rent user data explicitly in writing in our terms of service. 3) Someone does have to pay for the content. Our service is only about helping you share with authorized users, such as roommates, securely, For example, I certainly don't feel comfortable with my roommate having my password, even if they can legally and morally access my Netflix account. Finally, this really only is targeted at large corporations, not makers.
Also, I really appreciate that you listened to the TWIST episode.

They probably already received a Cease & Desist from the companies since the extension is already removed from the Chrome store.
not working on mac, "generate link" button is disabled

Has the extension been removed from the Chrome store?

I have used this for many issues I needed help with and it is fabulous. It’s saved me so much time and money! One thing I wish you would add is the ability to see what the submission was for. I have done multiple submissions at once and I don’t always remember what I said or what they were for.

I belief this product is at its core a rotten idea. I really hope that somebody will find a way to hurt your business model in a similar way or even better: destroy your company in the progress.
You do not respect other peoples businesses and you do not deserve any respect yourself.

Well...it's gone now! And there is zero on the DoNotPay website about this "sharing" option so it clearly got pulled from the Chrome Web Store as an extension almost immediately.
