Get ready to pay more for Netflix’s priciest plan.
Subscribers to Netflix’s Basic and Premium plans will be paying more, with prices rising to $11.99 and $22.99 per month in the US.
You must log in or register to comment.
Netflix, what are you trying to do? I can’t cancel my subscription in protest if it’s still cancelled from the last time you did something boneheaded.
Could always call and demand they cancel even harder.
Join, and cancel the next day.
I have herd you will get the money back and one month free.
While pretty useless it will show up in the churn metrics.
Oh hey. Another reason to no go back to pick up a Netflix account.
I’ve probably been subscribing to Netflix for a decade now, but this is the largest price increase they have ever done on the basic plan, and this is the first time I have seriously started to consider cancelling.
I need to go through my list and figure out what I really want to watch, and then just binge it. (I have never binge watched anything, but this is giving me an actual incentive to)
Or… Just… 🏴☠️
I canceled four years(?) ago and haven’t looked back. The quality to crap ratio of their originals was so high and the back catalog was evaporating. Everything I wanted I could get on DVDs at thrift shops and rip to my Plex library or watch on Hulu (which is provided free with my cell plan).
Yarr intensifies
tap… tap… tap… what’s that sound approaching?
Just me peg leg, matey
I think the issue is that Netflix always had a lot of debt and thought they could grow a lot more. They had a really solid income, then suddenly their catalog was shrinking thanks to the million other streaming services while they simultaneously started declining in subscriptions right when the cost of debt skyrocketed (even if some of their debt is still at lower rates).
Not that I’m cheering on the price increase by any means, nor am I currently a subscriber. Still though in some way I can see why they’re doing it and have a feeling we’re just at the tip of the iceberg in how bad tech corporate services are going to get for a bit.
On an unrelated note, VPNs and/or I2P are cool things to check out.
Edit: One thing too to bring up is that password sharing may still be a breeze. If you set up a VPN - not a commercial one but you setup yourseld on either on a VPS or on your home network - as long as anybody is on it they’ll look like they’re from the same household.
“As we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more,”
But you’re not doing the first half, so you can’t do the second half…
Adding 100 shows that no one is gonna watch is apparently “adding value”. Incidentally, this new season of Love is Blind is fucking garbage. Very clearly scripted with actors.
Would you rather it be completely unscripted filmed with bums off the street?
Edit: didn’t think the /s was needed folks
Now THAT’S already more interesting than 99% of the content on Netflix. Don’t tease us like that!
Maybe not for that particular series, but hey, as long as the bums make scale, go for it! I might even watch it depending on what they come up with.
If I was actually paying for half of the streaming services I have, I would cancel them all. They are all shit. Maybe I’d keep Disney+ for my kids, but Netflix is a waste of money nowadays.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Netflix last raised its prices in March 2022, bringing the Premium plan to $19.99 and the Standard tier to $15.49.
The streamer stopped offering its $9.99 Basic ad-free plan to new and relapsed users in July, forcing them to fork out more to avoid ads.
“As we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more,” Netflix writes in its letter to shareholders.
Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal reported the streamer would raise the cost of its subscription a “few months” after the Hollywood actors strike ends, and now it’s happened even though the actors are still striking.
Last month, the Writers Guild of America ended their strike after reaching a deal with services like Netflix to provide streaming data, higher minimum pay, and better residuals.
Meanwhile, the service is also debuting its Squid Game reality show and Scott Pilgrim anime in November, while also adding Across the Spider-Verse later this month.

Thanks bot!
It’s almost like streaming models aren’t sustainable for anybody involved. ;)
They were when they didn’t need to also make their own content before everyone and their mother became one.
Cue all the “that’s it, I’m out” comments. Seems like no one actually ever leaves.
I cancelled all my streaming subscriptions last month. Netflix, Disney, HBO.
I’m a full time pirate now with iptv and I’m a member of a forum where you download from each others mega cloud.
With my 1Gbit connection it is fun to download again
I left. Only thing I have left is Hulu and I’m about to boot them too.
According to my email history, I cancelled in March 2022. So there’s one person.
That’s how late-stage-capitalism works. companies just exist to maximize profits, unnecessary scale, or simply make more profit for their shareholders. It’s not for the customer. As soon as the innovations stop and the market is cornered by the competition, it’s just maximizing profits until the wheels fall off, f the user.
Can’t leave if you never started
Netflix announced that it’s password crackdown “exceeded expectations”
I am so disappointed in you, US consumer.
I cancelled after the last hike, and my family has access to my plex server with great quality and reliability, and a simple request system. But they barely use it. They just got their own Netflix after I cancelled the one we shared that I was paying for.
Do you use sonarr/radarr/jackett? I can’t seem to find any good indexers that actually work

Accounts with IPTorrents, AlphaRatio, and TorrentLeech
All my stuff comes from them
Awesome thanks!!!
Looks like IPT and TL are invite only or you can pay money… Is that how you got in or did you get an invite? Seems kinda sketchy sending them money for a seedbox I’ll never use. AT is inv only.
I got an invite for IPT from a friend, was my first private tracker. I think the others I got during open registrations they had.
I’ve got invites, you able to seed back for 2 weeks?
If multiple invitees have bad ratio, the inviter can have their account disabled. So usually invite sharing with strangers goes along with proof of past ratio.
There was a subreddit for it, maybe there’s a lemmy community
That would be awesome if I could get invites! I just set up a headless Ubuntu Server that will always be on and I can set up my seed ratio to infinite.
I’m rocking ProtonVPN pro with fiber so I have 1000Mbps up/down without vpn. Not exactly sure what the max up with that is.
As for proof I don’t have much. My only current one is 49gb downloaded v 53gb up
DM’d
Just curious, are you able to see the ratio of your invitees?
Just checked, and yes, on all 3 platforms I see the username of the person I invited and can check their stats, and I can also see the person who invited me and their stats.
Finally got fiber at my home and created many accounts for my family on my emby server. Wanted to give them access to my overseer server but I don’t trust it’s very secure. I will just let them access it and make requests when they visit.
I think a reverse proxy really helps with the security concerns
Not being a network guy, it took a bit for me to get reverse proxy set up on my Synology NAS, but now all my services run through it and have LetsEncrypt certs.
Highly recommend reverse proxy to obscure your services and make it easier for friends and family to find them!
Yeah, it wasn’t the easiest thing. Though, I think my biggest problem was due to docker. All of my services are in containers, reverse proxy included, and it took a bit to figure out that not all network types in docker containers can natively communicate with eachother. I think I ended up putting everything in bridged mode so they could all communicate.
You’re father along in the tech than I am, so kudos! I tried docker and just couldn’t get things to work how I wanted or expected. I’m sure I’ll try again in the future but had a kid in 2019 so haven’t really revisited it! You give me hope!!
FatFar out! You’re like the only person I’ve seen mention emby. It’s always Plex. Been running emby for a while and it’s great.
Yes what a bunch of dolts paying for the services they use instead of mooching off of others.

Right? Bunch of suckers paying for services. Everything should be free. Everyone should work for me and expect nothing in return.

I canceled my Netflix when this happened. I wasn’t really using it, but friends and family were. At least three of them created their own accounts when I canceled mine.
Same.
Either they blatantly lie about the outcome of the password crackdown or they see no issues at all to showcase how mind-bogglingly greedy they are. I think I’ve read this week they claim that subscriptions increased by 6 million worldwide. You’d think that is enough increase in revenue for a while, but no, let’s increase prices now. Weird timing imo, unless they’re testing how far they can go
I feel like Netflix is nearing its end, and they are extremely aware
Of course they’re going to say that. They won’t provide hard data to prove it, but by saying it they can keep doing it and make it look like a positive PR move.
They’re a publicly-traded company, of course they’re going to provide hard data to prove it: https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001065280/62b73aad-65fc-436d-9ab9-d622dc3eb462.pdf#page=12
They’re a publicly-traded company, they have to prove it. And they have.
Management every time they increase the price.
About to set up a Realdebrid account and get kodi running on my pc, brb
balls lol
You’re proud of this, but you missed out. There truly was a golden age where it was easier to pay $8 for streaming and everyone was happy. Good for you for being Nostradamus and everything, but there was a good ~8 years there where you really could have enjoyed the ride if you wanted.

The monthly savings for other people to switch to your plan just increased!
