Santa may know if you’ve been bad or good, but Netflix knows what shows you’re streaming, and its employees are judging you.
On Twitter, Netflix is calling out some subscribers who have a certain holiday-themed rom-com. The tweet reads, “To the 53 people who've watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days: Who hurt you?”

On the Netflix website, this is the synopsis for the movie, “Christmas comes early for an aspiring young journalist when she’s sent abroad to get the scoop on a dashing prince who’s poised to be king.”
You can watch the trailer, here (Spoiler alert: they fall in love).
While the Netflix tweet is getting a lot of attention, the responses are mixed. Some thought the tweet was hilarious while others found it to be mean-spirited. And at least one recognized what is most-likely the true motivation behind the tweet -- a perfectly-planned promotion for the Netflix-original movie.
