Just got an email that Netflix is raising prices yet again ($19.99). I’m done with #netflix … Too many price raises with no end in sight. Cancelling some of my favorite shows and poor lineup. I only go to Netflix for Seinfeld nowadays.
Is it Netflix’s fault when they are strong armed into removing a show because another network started their own streaming service? (I.e, Disney products, The Office, etc). There are going to be cost increases when their loss leaders leave, and now they have to keep producing their own shows.
They cancel their own shows even after 1-2 seasons. (Altered Carbon, Cowboy Bebop come to mind)
Yes, it is their fault for not anticipating this a few years ago
I do subscribe/binge/unsubscribe once per couple of months. This time I subscribed for "Don't look up" and can't find anything else that would worth(timewise) staying.
Damn bro you subscribed just for 1 movie haha? Might as well just stream it online at that point
a. Effectively same cost as movie ticket b. It was dang good movie
No way you are worried about an extra ~100 USD in an year which is what Netflix is cashing on.
Do you pay taxes?
Just torrent it remotely from overseas man. Don't freaking spend on OTTs.
No need to torrent. You can watch most OTT content in soap2day.to website.
Jesus man, people made you honest well working service, just pay those $20
I only recently got Netflix and started watching The Witcher. I’m enjoying it so far. Anyone got any other recommendations?
Don't look up I am mother Ozark Breaking Bad (lol) El Camino Better call Saul Ratched Formula 1 Drive to survive Travelers War Dogs
Unlucky timing for Netflix to coincide this move with the recent inflation spike and everything associated with it (decline in equity values, interest rates climbing, liquidity disappearing, etc). It's very possible that we'll see a surge in layoffs along with this.A lot of people will soon be forced to decide which luxuries to throttle back, right when one of them just got significantly more expensive with relatively little new to offer in the near term? Of course few people were betting accurately on the timing and severity of this market crash (we knew something was coming eventually - but not exactly when or how badly it was going to hurt). Now I'm expecting at least a ~10% drop in subscriptions and wouldn't be surprised to see upwards of 20%. Ironically in retrospect: Netflix might have saved more subscribers overall if they had raised prices a year ago so they could afford to keep them stable (at the higher level) now, when more people are likely to be reassessing household budgets.
very good points
Netflix isn't a luxury. Not when pay TV has ARPU of $100+ and 100M subs at peak. Netflix is just a convenient and cost efficient entertainment service. People will cut restaunts, movie tickets, star bucks before cutting Netflix. And we'll see a typical 1% churn. Believe it or not
No one is canceling Netflix because it actually costs too much. Your expectation is just anchored low.
You pay a small fee and we don't give you ads or sell your data and you can leave anytime you want. Simple honest transaction. But since you work at Meta, would you rather we do things the way you guys do things? Maybe track you everywhere and sell your info/identity? Running a business costs money, and inflation is here. Get over it.
Just to be clear meta doesn't sell data, never has and never will. Would be a terrible business model if you don't believe the policy. Selling data is a hundred million dollar business, not selling data is a hundred billion dollar business.
Of course they aren’t selling your data, they ARE the ad company at this point.
Just get a TMobile line and get Netflix on them
I have free Verizon phone service from work. haven’t paid for my own cellular provider in a while.
I don't know man. I don't feel comfortable using a company phone for personal use. I've had a company phone everywhere I've worked and I just use it for company use
