Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Netflix has been streaming content for nearly a decade now, if you count the embryonic days when it only had a couple of thousand films.

Unlike traditional TV viewing, which is lost in the haze of your memory, everything you’ve ever watched on Netflix is recorded and listed (welcome to 2016).

To find out the very first thing you viewed, and everything else for that matter:

> Go to the Netflix homepage

> Click your avatar in the top right and then ‘Your Account’

> Select ‘Viewing activity’ from the My Profile section

> Scroll right down to the bottom (may take a few seconds to load chunks of time)

This function is also interesting/useful for pinpointing what you were watching at certain points in your life (hello Funny Games back-to-back with 10 Things I Hate About You) and finding out who’s been using your account (click ‘See recent account access').
