Netflix may hike prices after success of password-sharing crackdown::Netflix’s crackdown on password-sharing likely boosted subscribers by about 6 million in the third quarter and the streaming pioneer is expected to set the stage for price increases when it reports earnings on Wednesday.

Only reason I have Netflix is the complimentary 1080p plan with my cell account at T-Mobile.
NordVPN was $2.5 / month for a 2 year subs.
People let them get the tip in, is it any surprise that they are going balls deep now?
Dude, punctuation is important. Your sentence broke my brain for a good 30 seconds.
Was the top comment edited? Because this reads super clearly to me.
Yes, they edited to add the comma, making the sentence much more clear.
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.
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.
I subscribe for like one month a year if stuff I like has accumulated. It’s not worth more, I bet one moth will soon be $150, or “premium content” will only be available to long term subscribers.
I am so surprised about this, who could have seen that coming /s
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.
You got an antenna? That’s practically $70/month you’re stealing from services like Google TV
The ocean calls…
I just resubbed for Fall of the House of Usher. I’ll watch that and the new Adam Sandler, then will unsub again. I have no problem with paying for things that provide value, but its stupid to keep paying if I’m not going to use it
Inside Job and One Piece are also gems, FWIW.
I’ll subscribe to legally watch a show, but they don’t deserve more than a month per year from me…
They just increased Turkish accounts prices, I’ll be paying £6 now instead of £3 for the top tier account
I’m ready to cancel. Their programming has been getting worse over time anyway.
Do it. I cancelled 2 weeks ago and haven’t looked back. Netflix is filled with self referential, formulaic films, shows that had a good season 1 but got axed, and shows that sucked but somehow got the engagement metrics up enough to stick around. Occasionally there’s a show that’s good and stocks around, but ends up a stinker as the seasons progress.
The only thing I miss is Korean dramas, but there’s Viki for that.
I wake our account up for a month or two a year. They don’t have enough quality content to justify a nonstop subscription and haven’t since the great streaming market fracture like 5-6y ago.
Yay! Another fucking food/crafting competition!
Say it ain’t so! Who could have known?
They can do whatever they want. I’ve been done with them for a while. If they put something out worth watching, I’ll hit the high seas.
I think they’re overestimating their demand. I like them less now, and they may raise prices again? 🤔
This is what people said with password sharing though.
And they resubbed still
Fuck these capitalist fucks.
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.
You answered your own question “Now it’s just garbage corporations turning a quick buck for executives and shareholders” executives must continually find more profit to appease the shareholders, the only way to do that consistently is raise prices, there are too many people that will just keep paying and paying and the corporations know it.
