I'd cancel but my rather old parents use my account and I don't want to confuse them by having to switch anything on the app/tech side. So I'm stuck with it. I really hope they'll get something worth watching one of these days.
Got a tip for us?

Netflix to Raise Ad-Free Subscription Prices Soon

You might not feel like it but you’ve missed a lot of great stuff sorry to break it to ya.
If you keep “needing” to raise the price, maybe that isn’t the solution… maybe reducing spendings (ie stop spending so much to acquire trash) and focusing it on a smaller amount of *quality* content is a more viable path forward. Netflix is quickly becoming the overly expensive recycling bin of the content creation world.
I love how everyone defends the writers strike up to the exact moment it then costs them more money LOL
I wonder how many people will raise their use of the old Jack Sparrow discount to match Netflix's repeated price raises? 🏴☠️
Ahoy me hearty, I will be raising me discount while full of grog.
Also I will cancel Netflix.
Disney+ since it gives you:
•Animated movies you’ve already seen
•Superhero movies you’ve already seen
•Superhero shows that are so embarrassingly bad and boring it’s insane
•Star Wars movies you’ve already seen
•Star Wars shows that are boring and garbage
Disney+ has no genre breadth, it’s the least-valuable streaming service.
Netflix is the most-valuable because it gives you the entire swath of all content genres. Moreover, shows like Stranger Things are just astronomically better than anything new on Disney+.
Notice I don’t even bother mentioning Apple TV+ because it’s not worth $0.00/monthi
I do like HULU since i can record News TV Shows or shows like series. I don’t think that can be done with the others?
Canceled a month ago, no regrets at all.
Netflix plans to increase the price of its ad-free subscription plans a few months after the end of the Hollywood actors strike, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Prices will go up in the United States and Canada first, and it is not yet clear how much more Netflix will charge. Netflix last raised prices at the beginning of 2022, charging $9.99 per month for the Basic plan, $15.49 per month for the Standard plan, and $19.99 per month for the Premium plan.
Netflix has since eliminated the Basic plan and added a Standard with ads plan that is priced at $6.99 per month. The company has also ended all multi-household sharing, so Netflix users must reside in the same location to share a Netflix plan, otherwise there is an additional cost for another member slot.
Multiple streaming services have been raising their prices this year. Ad-free Disney+ streaming will soon be $13.99 per month, and ad-free Hulu is going to be $17.99 per month following price hikes set to go live this month. There is no specific word yet on when Netflix will raise prices.

****ing ridiculous if you ask me. We've become the frog in the boiling pot of water, oblivious and numb to what's really going on until it's too late. These greedy entities that keep saying enough is not enough for their bottom line profit, for the millions and billions in pay-out their CEOs and board members get every year... they keep doing this to us. And what do we do about it? Nothing. Not a damn thing.
Vote with your wallet, people.

uh, actually everything out there is 4k hdr lmao
As an option: find someone who has a family 4K and ask them to add you as an extra account (and compensate them for it). Obviously, having a single stream 4K account would make it easier. Maybe Netflix will add this option when they raise the prices.
I just subscribe monthly and move around. Netflix for a month, prime for a month, criterion, crave, etc. Only so much time in the day. No need for more than one at a time. Save a bundle.
I canceled with the last price increase. And I just canceled Amazon prime because of the ads being added to my plans. Good luck guys. Time to hit the high seas.

It’s just very odd to me how people speak as if they’re personally offended that a lot of us think Netflix is a garbage company selling overpriced crap. People do it with Apple too, and Elon Musk. These companies and billionaires aren’t gonna pick anybody to be their special boy or whatever 😂 I guess where you find enthusiasts about anything you find very passionate people.
This isn’t 2005. We can literally choose our resolution and bitrate, subtitle source, etc.
Just pretend the income they aren’t getting is what they’re paying their writers

LOL @ all the people here saying "Cancelled!" but when Apple raises prices it's "TAKE MY MONEY!"
Lots of ways to be entertained using an internet connection. Pay for what you think is worth it, drop whats not. At least with still so many VoD options out there it's still ample choice for your budget.
Shame we don't have the same flexibility with ISP's.

Build your own tv & movie server. That is what I did. Much better than Netflix and I don't have to worry about titles leaving.
Of things you own. BluRays and DVDs are cheap.
