How to Stop Netflix Emails

Why Netflix emails annoy subscribers — and how people react

Netflix isn’t a classic spammer, but it still ends up on a lot of unsubscribe lists. Based on Clean Email’s Q1 2025 data, Netflix ranks #22 among the most unsubscribed senders, which says a lot about how subscribers feel about its email volume.

What’s interesting is how people deal with Netflix emails — and why.

What makes Netflix emails annoying

Netflix emails usually fall into a few predictable categories:

• “Watch again” and recommendation emails Suggestions to resume a show, try something new, or explore a trending title.
• Plan, billing, and renewal reminders Especially common around plan changes, price updates, or paused accounts.
• Account and security notifications Login alerts, password changes, and device activity confirmations.

Individually, these messages make sense. The issue is frequency. For many users, Netflix emails keep coming even when they’re already active on the platform or no longer interested in recommendations landing in their inbox.

Over time, the emails feel repetitive and unnecessary — especially when the same information is already available inside the app.

Spam vs unsubscribe: what Netflix users choose

Netflix shows up in a very specific category in Clean Email’s data:

• Primarily unsubscribed
• Rarely marked as spam

This pattern is important.

Subscribers generally see Netflix as a legitimate, essential service. People don’t want to risk missing:

• Payment issues
• Security alerts
• Account access problems

Because of that, users usually avoid marking Netflix as spam, which could hide critical messages or damage sender trust with their email provider.

Instead, they choose to unsubscribe from marketing and promotional emails while keeping transactional and security-related messages intact.

In short: Netflix emails are annoying — but not untrustworthy.

Why unsubscribing feels like the safer option

Netflix emails don’t trigger panic or suspicion the way scammy senders do. They trigger fatigue.

Users want fewer nudges, fewer reminders, and fewer “you might like this” emails — without breaking their account communication entirely. Unsubscribing gives them that control, while spam filtering feels too aggressive for a service tied to payments and personal accounts.

That’s why Netflix lands solidly on unsubscribe lists instead of spam lists.
