Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	Families with young kids	Binge-watchers of Netflix originals
Who it's not for	Cord-cutters chasing the cheapest option	Anyone evaluating business software . this is consumer TV, full stop
Privacy	User account takeovers via likely credential stuffing reported; a 1.1TB Disney corporate data leak and video-privacy lawsuits add risk.^⁵	Mature platform with a public security page, but hit by a 2024 leak of unaired episodes and ongoing credential-phishing campaigns targeting its 275M+ users.
Support quality	BBB billing complaints dominate	No support evidence in sources
Public sentiment	Fans praise the catalog and kids' content but complain about price hikes, video/audio glitches, and account hacking.^³	Public sources reviewed are mostly listings and news; substantive verbatim user sentiment was too thin to quote.
