AITA for removing a former best friend from streaming accounts

I (34M) had a falling out with my former best friend (35F) at the end of May. It was her choice to no longer be friends. It is now the middle to end of December and we’ve had no contact since apart from one occasion in which she wanted the purchase details for some mobility scooter batteries I got her as they had developed a fault, I was happy to send her the invoice details. When we were friends I set her up as an extra member on my Netflix (paying £5.99 a month), I upgraded my Apple One membership to a family plan to put her and one of her kids on and I signed up to Disney+ and Crunchyroll so that she and her kids could use them. What I want to know is AITA or being petty for starting to reverse this.

  1. Bro what?

    NTA

    Kinda sounds like a little more than “friendship”. I don’t financially support my friends whether that’s through actual money or subscriptions.

    Get her off the subscriptions and move on with your life. Literally she’s a grown adult with children. She can make her own choices, like she did to not be friends anymore.

    1. It was a very intense friendship, almost more like family. I’d pick her kids up or drop them off to school if she couldn’t, do diy round her house, fix her mobility scooter, make dinner etc

  2. NAH. No conflict.

    “Is it wrong for me to stop buying things for my ‘ex-friend’ who doesn’t even talk to me anymore?” You know it’s fine.

  3. NTA and it is not petty. You’re paying extra for someone not in your life. She’s had many months of free access. You were generous for a time. That time has come to an end. You can’t be an AH for no longer going out of your way for someone even if you were still on good terms.

  4. NTA. You’re no longer friends therefore no need to continue with this generosity. Change the passwords and cancel any of the subscriptions that you don’t use. If she reaches out, remind her that she ended the friendship back in May and she is responsible for her family not you. You’ve decided to move on with your life and have been generous enough to allow her to still have access for over seven months despite the end of the friendship.

  5. NTA. The AH move would be to go in and change their profile so all the shows they are watching keep disappearing and they get fed nothing but boring documentaries, and baby shark videos.

  6. NTA, but don’t cut them off until Jan 1 for the Disney channels. Since her kids are involved and the Christmas holidays are coming up, that way, her kids won’t suffer from her actions. You’ve been extremely kind to let them have it this long.

  7. You’re in your 30s and asking this question? You should just keep paying for her to use your streaming. Add me on there too while you’re at it smdh
    This question is YTA
