I already cancelled my account. Netflix is too expensive already. Why would I pay more?

And the enshittification continues..

$20/month for shit content. Dead to me.

There you go biting the hand that feeds you again

Wait, so their excuse for hiking prices before was that they were losing money because people were sharing their accounts, so they "had to" hike the prices for those who subscribed to "compensate" for that. Now that they succeeded in their crackdown on password-sharing, which means more subscribers in theory, they figured that they still need to hike prices again? Someone please show me the logic here?

Netflix forced to raise prices due to thinking of bigger number. You can really apply this to most things lately.

Didn't they just raise prices "due to the writers strike"?

if they need to raise rates this much this often they are crap at forecasting and or (more likely) they are just full of shit and are just making up excuses to generate revenue after seeing how many people tolerated the password crackdown.

Netflix, if you're paying any attention here, there will be no raising prices to drive me to the ad tier. Either the ad free version is worth it or I'll continue my life without Netflix. I'll never go back to the cable ad experience.

I'm ready to cancel. Their programming has been getting worse over time anyway.

I am so surprised about this, who could have seen that coming /s

People let them get the tip in, is it any surprise that they are going balls deep now?

Say it ain't so! Who could have known?

I've been a Netflix subscriber for a long time. The ease of use, the broad catalog of weird foreign films and shows, and the kid-friendly content have kept me on board after ditching Hulu, Disney+, and pretty much every other streaming service. And I have the disposable income to make the convenience worth it, even though I'm fully capable of, shall we say, sailing the high seas.

If they do this, I'm dropping Netflix. It's just not worth it anymore.

Netflix should take the departure of people like me as a canary in the coal mine. If I leave, then other long-term, formerly-happy customers will depart, too. This will be the start of a death spiral.

May as well make it 100 per month. Bunch of greedy fucks 🤡

Netflix acting like they got content worth paying any amount of money for 🤣

How has HBO been consistently $15 a month for decades it seems, and now suddenly this model requires everyone to hike their prices to hell and back? I think I would be willing to believe that $15/mo is the magic number, except that everyone is rocketing past that now. Now it's just garbage corporations turning a quick buck for executives and shareholders, as subscribers we aren't getting any more for our money - there's no feature release or massive influx of content. What a shit system we have.

There is little reason to keep any streaming service for more than a month per year. Sub, binge, cancel, move on.

There's not enough worthwhile content on any of them to maintain an ongoing subscription.

Mullvad VPN is 5 bucks a month

chuckles in not paying and still accessing the same content

I think they're overestimating their demand. I like them less now, and they may raise prices again? 🤔

I don't know why, but I'm still able to use my parents' Netflix account. Maybe it's because I turned off automatic updates on my TV before the crackdown started.

So I have to check because I haven't noticed this have, they actually implemented this crackdown for everyone everywhere, because I'm successfully sharing my Netflix password with my parents and nothing seems to have happened yet.

The original plan was to keep going with Netflix until they actually shut down the account because I'm only really maintaining it for my parents, but Netflix have ruined it by not doing anything.

Urgh. The only people in our house who watch it are the kids for cake based reality shows and Lego animation. So as soon as they raise the prices it's getting cancelled.

NordVPN was $2.5 / month for a 2 year subs.

Fuck these capitalist fucks.

Only reason I have Netflix is the complimentary 1080p plan with my cell account at T-Mobile.

I was about to cancel my Netflix when I saw that I’m grandfathered into $10/month for ad-free. The only thing I find worth watching there are K-Dramas these days and that’s roughly the cost of a Viki Rakuten account, so I’ve decided to keep it…for now.

The second anything requires me to change from my current sub, that’s a wrap.

I re-subscribed to Netflix for the first time in about a year and a half a couple of months ago. After watching a few things periodically, I'm already lukewarm on the content. I just got an antenna so I can watch some local things (news, sports, etc.) and I'm not sure I'll bother with Netflix going forward. I see another cancellation looming in my future, and that'll only come faster if they decide to increase the price yet again. Most of the time I already feel like I'd rather be reading a book than watching TV.
