Netflix Raising U.S. Prices Yet Again, Premium Plan Now Costs $23/Month

Makes me appreciate Apple TV+ more. It has only original (all meat, no fillings), it is free with hardware purchase and even subs fee is less than 10 bucks.

And you don't pay a stupid tax for a 4K resolution which should be a standard option now, absolutely disgusting they charge extra based on the resolution because others don't. If you pay for access then all resolutions should be available and not hidden behind a paywall.

I used to love Netflix but haven’t been with them a year now… looking increasingly unlikely I’d go back. In meantime as per another poster here… I’m cycling between some other streaming services.

It wouldn't surprise me if streaming services introduced initiation fees every time you start/restart service to discourage cycling.

Hopefully people will learn this simple, basic, truth:

10 Find a streaming service with content you value
20 Subscribe
30 Consume
40 Cancel subscription
50 Goto 10

There is no reason, other than pure convenience and/or stupidity, to subscribe to them all at once.

I canceled my subscription before the first price raise, and then, they sent me an e-mail suggesting that I come back and how much of a value it was.

My only full time subs are Amazon (cause of deliveries although now they’ve started messing with that) and YTP. Everyone else I turn on, binge, turn off. Prices are just getting wild. It’s like they don’t think there are any other streamers folks have to pay for.

i could see this. like gym memberships. ugh, i’ll just dump all my subscriptions if they go that route
 
Since my son left with his mother, I haven’t been on Netflix at all because I want him and his sister to be able to watch it. I pay for it for them. Not paying extra to add a second household.

Sitting here waiting for people lining up shouting “unsubscribe!”.
(And after that, continue to pay Netflix)

We just use Netflix on the Tvs and streaming boxes (roku and ATV) that were logged in before the “crackdown” on family sharing, since, so far, if you stay logged in they don’t kick you off.

Probably won’t pay if they figure it out. We pay fir Disney+ and ATV+ which cost less per year combined and with 4k content.

Correction: the Premium plan is the only level that offers "Netflix Spatial Audio." Multichannel spatial audio (5.1 surround etc.) is included in at least the standard plan.
 
Cancelled a while ago. Was going to pick it up every once and and while to binge, but haven't felt the need.
I just canceled my DirecTV Stream as they announced price again too. Originally was $35 back in 2016 or so, was going to go to $104.99!
