I think the Hollywood crowd is going to get a dose of reality regarding their ridiculous levels of compensation.
Whoever didn't cancel at the last price hike won't cancel at this one. Bleeding people dry.
That CEO looks horrible - just like a fake televangelist with too much money.

Their one good show since Squid Game. subscribing for one month a year should cover it.
There’s a whole generation raised who don’t know what a directory is. Streaming services are going to win in the end. Lucky for us boomers who still know how to sail the high seas
I've stopped subscribing to all streaming services. They're producing mostly crap anyway, with hack activist "writers". There is a rare good show here and there, but it just not worth the money with so much filler.
I'd rather play an immersive high-quality PC game for an hour or two at this point, than watching some butchering of the latest franchise. Especially fantasy and sci-fi shows the last five 4-5 years have been mostly terrible (writers pushing ideology instead of good stories), with a couple of exception like House of the Dragon.

There are alternative ways to get Netflix via a Firestick and the like so I suspect many will just pay the £50 per year for that. A neighbour has one of these sticks and he gets Netflix, Disney, AppleTV+ etc etc. The only downside is the audio is 2.0! . I think we are going to cancel paying for Netflix for a while and see how we get on, perhaps the best option is to cancel, wait 6 months and then sign up again when it has amassed more content.
Cool! That means that I will save even more money now by pirating Netflix content.
Thank god I still only pay in Mexican Pesos. Somehow they never blocked my access even though my dad made their house the „home“ and I live across the ocean in Germany.
Next spring will be a great chance to cancel since they won’t have anything new filmed

Ten years ago, Netflix was a steal. Tonnes of (good) content. Relatively low cost. Made sense to stop pirating.
Today, Netflix value gets less and less. Content patchy and arguably, not so good. Pretty high cost, now what it competed with so many other streaming services. It probably makes sense to a lot of folks to dust off the old uTorrent and sail into the Pirate Bay.

Yeah I’ve also cycling through them as well as you can’t watch them all the time. It’s cheaper to binge one streamer at a time.
I just have Disney plus but do think it’s cheaper to buy the digital or physical releases instead of streaming.
Love your metaphor! 🥰There’s a whole generation raised who don’t know what a directory is. Streaming services are going to win in the end. Lucky for us boomers who still know how to sail the high seas
No it won’t. UAW is negotiating a big raise and UPS drivers make up to $170K. California min wage for fast food worker is $20/hr.
Money is flowing freely. You should figure out how to catch some.
And at $170k/yr, UPS drivers still cannot deliver iPhone's correctly to people their houses.
I will have to start making cuts on my subscriptions as I'm probably now over $100/month just on subscriptions alone. That is nuts.
Capitalism in full swing.
Cut costs
Increase prices
Give the market the same gains each year
Just to avoid a fire sale on the shares
The consumer always loses out.
Their new compression algorithms and variable bit rates were already annoying me well before this pure greed price rise.

Well that all depends on the makeup of the family unit and particular members' preferences for content, themes, etc.
Disney+ vs Discovery+ vs Prime are very different with very different content - add in Hulu, Netflix, AppleTV+ etc... you can see how it spirals - personally I am seeing traditional "corded" services reducing prices at the same time and providing better value once again.
Netflix moaned and complain of not getting enough money due to password sharing. Now they have stopped that and subscriber numbers have increased which means Netflix are now getting more money than they usually would have they still raise prices. someone has to pay for the company employee's xmas parties and xmas bonuses and it isn't going to be Netflix.
How quickly you’ve been conditioned to blame the writers, who literally create the content, instead of corporate greed and the unsustainable goal to pay millionaire shareholders.
