Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors After a long day's work, it's hard to muster the energy to do anything other than heat up some food and binge your favorite Netflix shows like "Bridgerton" or "Stranger Things." But what if you could get paid just to watch Netflix? More Entertainment: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein – Everything We Know, Trailer, Release Date Flick Offers claims just that. According to the website, people can sit at home and watch and review Netflix content while making $36 per hour on your own schedule with "no talking required." The job has since gone viral on TikTok, with multiple users claiming that they are now living the couch potato dream. But is this actually a dream job or just a scam trying to take advantage of the masses? Let's dive deeper.

Above is a stock image of the Netflix logo is displayed on the screen of an Apple MacBook Pro on November 20, 2019 in Paris, France. The streaming giant has revealed the incoming and outgoing shows and films for its August 2023 Flick Offers Netflix Review Job Site a Scam? Let's cut to the chase: is Flick Offers real or just a scam? To put it bluntly, this site and other sites like it are some of the biggest scams online right now. According to Scam-Detector, Flick Offers has a score of 6.9 out of 100, meaning it is one of the least trustworthy sites possible. To make matters worse, Scam-Detector states that there are massive risk factors related to phishing, malware, and spam if you were to click any of the links on their web page. Additionally, it appears that the site is not affiliated with Netflix in any way, despite slapping a big red "N" on their front page. This is a massive red flag when considering the legitimacy of any website like this. The fact of the matter is, if a company were going to pay you to review their content, they wouldn't do it through a website that isn't affiliated with them. How to Actually Get Paid to Watch Netflix So it appears that Flick Offers and sites like it are a massive scam. Is there a way to actually get paid to watch Netflix? Actually, there is! More Entertainment: Netflix Releases Mysterious Trailer For Next 'Knives Out' Film Known as a Netflix tagger, these individuals are paid to watch, analyze, and categorize content. According to taggers make about $54,000 per year, or about $25 per hour. This is far off from the promised $36 per hour promised by Flick Offers. What Jobs is Netflix Hiring For? If you are looking to get a job with Netflix, your best bet would be to do it through their actual jobs website. While it doesn't seem that any tagger jobs are open at the moment, there are well over 500 open positions at the time of writing that are waiting to be filled. However, if you are looking for a quick way to make a ton of money just for binging your favorite series, it is best to look elsewhere.

Jamie Foxx Has One Question For Sean Combs in Midst of N.Y. Racketeering Trial: ‘Why You So Nasty, Diddy?'
Jamie Foxx is not pulling punches when it comes to his thoughts on the Sean 'Diddy' Combs' New York sex trafficking and racketeering trial. During a recent appearance at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, the actor/singer lashed out at the disgraced former music mogul who he once honored at Diddy's 2008 Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony. 'Diddy is fu–in' crazy, huh?' Foxx said in footage shared by Urban Hollywood. 'I don't know if he is going to jail, but he is a nasty motherf–er. Am I right? Especially for us… white people like, 'It's cool,' but for Black people… that was our hero. All that g–damn baby oil, boy! Why you so nasty, Diddy?' When officers raided Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami last March prosecutors said they found drugs as well as more than 1,000 bottles of lubricant and baby oil. More from Billboard 50 Cent Keeps His Promise by Posting the 'Really Bad' Things Diddy Has Said About Donald Trump Jessie J Reveals 'Early Breast Cancer' Diagnosis: 'Cancer Sucks in Any Form' Big Thief Announce New Album, 'Double Infinity' The comments from Foxx about the shocking testimony in the Combs trial in reference to the rapper's marathon 'Freak Off' sex parties is relevant because in 2023 rumors circulated that Combs allegedly poisoned Foxx, leading to the actor's hospitalization for what was later confirmed to be a stroke. Foxx opened up about the rumors surrounding his mystery illness last month in a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, shooting down the allegations that Diddy tried to have him killed via poisoning. 'I'm in f—ing perfect shape. [I saw things like,] 'Puffy tried to kill me.' No, Puffy didn't try to kill me. When they said I was a clone, that made me flip,' Foxx said. 'I'm sitting in the hospital bed, like, 'These b—h-a– motherf—ers are trying to clone me.'' While a spokesperson for Combs did not reply to Billboard's request for a comment on the allegations, his team has repeatedly said the rumor was false and unfounded. Foxx also addressed the allegations in his What Had Happened Was… Netflix special in December, in which he said, 'The internet said Puffy was trying to kill me, that's what the internet was saying. I know what you thinking, 'Diddy?' Hell no, I left them parties early. I was out by 9. 'Something don't look right… it looks slippery in here!' The Combs trial is in its fourth week and on Wednesday (June 4) Bryana Bongolan, a friend of Diddy's ex, prosecution star witness Cassie Ventura, alleged that Diddy dangled her over a 17th-floor apartment balcony in 2016 before shoving her into the balcony's furniture. Combs is facing five criminal counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution, charges that could land him in prison for the rest of his life; Combs has denied the allegations against him.

Netflix Creates Christmas Day Dilemma: How NFL Games, 'Stranger Things' Season 5 Could Complicate Holidays
Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) may have complicated holiday plans for many people in the United States with new "Stranger Things" episodes and two NFL games premiering on the platform on Christmas Day. What Happened: Netflix hosted its Tudum global fan event over the weekend, and many new trailers, release dates and details were shared with fans, including the release dates for the highly anticipated fifth and final season of Stranger Things. "Stranger Things" will be released in three parts on the following dates: Part 1: four episodes, Nov. 26 (the day before Thanksgiving) Part 2: three episodes, Dec. 25 (Christmas Day) Part 3: final episode, Dec. 31 All of the episodes will premiere at 5 p.m. PST on the respective dates. Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — While many people may have their Christmas plans wrapped up on Dec. 25 by the time the new episodes are released, others may look to have parties and celebrations earlier than normal during the day. Also, keep in mind that Netflix has two Christmas Day NFL games: the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Washington Commanders at 1 p.m. ET and the Detroit Lions vs. the Minnesota Vikings at 4:30 p.m. ET. This means that Netflix will have premium content for subscribers from 1 p.m. until potentially midnight, depending on the length of the three "Stranger Things" episodes that are released. The other parts of "Stranger Things" also find release dates around holidays that could complicate family get-togethers and plans.

The streaming platform, owned by Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN), has a third NFL game on Christmas. The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs will play at 8:15 p.m. ET, right when the new "Stranger Things" episodes will be It's Important: "Stranger Things" is one of the most-watched series in Netflix history and the final season is among the most anticipated releases on the streaming platforms ever. Releasing episodes of the hit show around holidays will likely pay off for Netflix in the viewership charts, as people often have time off of work and could binge-watch or catch up on old episodes. For Netflix, the decision to have two Christmas Day NFL games and "Stranger Things" episodes could be the streamer's decision to plant their flag on the holiday and be the go-to place for homes around the country during the day and at night. Netflix averaged 24 million viewers for its two Christmas Day 2024 NFL games with 65 million Americans watching at least a portion of one of its two games during the day. The streamer cut into the usual dominance of NBA games that traditionally air on Christmas Day. "Stranger Things" was not the only highlight from Tudum and also not the only key 2025 release from the streaming giant. Netflix also highlighted other hits like "Wednesday" season 2 and "Squid Game" season 3, which will be released on Aug. 6 and June 27 respectively. The fan event included a performance by Lady Gaga, who will be featured in the second season of "Wednesday." The streamer also highlighted upcoming releases like "Frankenstein," "Happy Gilmore 2," "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery" and season two of "One Piece." Netflix has new seasons of "Squid Game," "Stranger Things," and "Wednesday" in 2025, giving fans new content for three of its most popular series of all time. Add in NFL games, WWE live matches, and more, and Netflix's 2025 lineup continues to look like one of the best among streamers.
