    > If Netflix doesn’t buy ads against "chill"

I wonder if there's a potential issue with trademarks there. If "Netflix and chill" becomes popular enough, does Netflix end up just being a generic word for watching online TV?

I thought "watching" anything (or even having a Netflix subscription in the first place) wasn't obligatory part of the activity "Netflix and chill".

Related; Stallman said he wouldn't Netflix and chill, but he would agree to watch some local video files.

Depends on what you mean by it.... people do definitely use it to imply a sedentary night watching tv, although others use it ironically to indicate a booty call.

You watch the first 15-30 minutes of something while getting progressively more handsy.
