I locked in at the pay-up-front promo rate that's good for three years, and split it with my sister. I think it works out to like $3/month for both of us through November 2022.
Got a tip for us?

Netflix, if I did not share it with my parents I would have stopped paying for it long ago. They are so damn close to pricing themselves out of the market for a lot of people as their quality has plummeted. I already know people who binge watched one or two shows in one month and cancelled, the same method many used on HBO to get their Game of Thrones fix.
As for parity, they will need to double that eight dollar fee
Um.... did you not read the article? The answer is in the very first paragraph!
Only fair, since in Feb they'll double the number of premium TV shows from 1 to 2.
Agreeable, very modest increase. Once they release more original content, it will be worth another subscription.
Thanks for the reminder to cancel once this season of The Mandalorian ends.
They will lose customers, they mainly have old content barring about two new shows, this may be good for young children but the parents paying for it may be a different matter. It's getting to the stage with all these subscription services that people subscribe and cancel after binge watching a particular show they want to watch, if prices were kept at a reasonable rate subscribers would not think oh, can i afford all these services this month, the world has gone subscription mad and I think so many of us have subscription fatigue now.
Disney+ is finally coming to Singapore next February. Guess I will be giving it a go.
$1 here, $1 there, pretty soon it adds up to real money. Sometimes in Australia they describe increases in terms of coffees, "Your rates (land taxes) are going up by less than a coffee a week," or "For the price of a coffee a day, you can own such and such." I always think, I only drink one coffee a day, and you want to take that away from me?

That has what to do with what exactly?
why do you think piracy is on the rise again? Netflix was great when it was the only streaming service around, now there are dozens of them, and all of them charge between $7-14 .. thus return of the $150 a month cable bill.... not mention the fact you are paying for the internet connection already...
Piracy is returning.
Agree - will cancel again when Mandalorian ends. They offer little else that is worth paying for. I bet they lose tons of subscribers when Mandalorian ends. And the price increases won’t end. Will be keep ripping off consumers until consumers finally push back on these streaming services and stop using them.
I should have known... Bait customers for the first year, then increase the price once they get comfy.
The content is still great, though.

I am glad I purchased the 3 year deal when it was offered. The hike shouldn’t affect me.
I also know a lot of people who share accounts with friends and family so that they don’t have to worry about canceling.
Well, the people complaining should have bought the 3yr price plan and waited for the pro-rate of ESPN+ and Hulu. Jus saying this here is Chess Not checkers Fools!!!!
You’re kidding right? Them milking an IP which has been milked enough is considered a good thing?
Let Star Wars die man.
