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.

Netflix announced that starting today, users on its $9.99 per month Basic plan will now have to pay $11.99, and those paying $19.99 per month for Premium will have to pay $22.99
That’s insane. The only way those price hikes could possibly be justified is if the majority of movie/show creators had their catalogues available on Netflix. But they don’t because everyone and their mother wants their own fucking streaming service, ruining streaming for everyone.
No thanks. I got a library card and access to my entire county’s book/audio-book/movie/show catalogue for free through Libby and Hoopla. As for everything else I can’t find there… Yarr.
I always upvote library advocacy
Bye bye Netflix. Onward to the high seas.
Arr
arrr
The only reason I keep it is because my son watches Number blocks and other educational videos there. But I did downgrade from 4K to HD and I’ll likely downgrade again at the next price hike.
Or you can download all of your kids shows and host it on a Plex or jellyfin server for them.

“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.
Piracy is always a service issue. It never went away, and it will never go away. Why should I spend the little money I have on a service that repeatedly jacks up prices, while also killing your favorite shows, or losing licences to stream other content?
Management every time they increase the price.
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.
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).
Is this a monthly thing now?
Seems like
Another reason I won’t be returning as a customer.
Yarr intensifies
tap… tap… tap… what’s that sound approaching?
Just me peg leg, matey
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
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.
According to my email history, I cancelled in March 2022. So there’s one person.
Can’t leave if you never started
I left. Only thing I have left is Hulu and I’m about to boot them too.

About to set up a Realdebrid account and get kodi running on my pc, brb
Oh hey. Another reason to no go back to pick up a Netflix account.
Anyone who complains about this: If you didn’t cancel your acccount back when they cracked down on account sharing it’s your own fault.
They saw that they made more profit this way and now they gonna keep squeezing as much as possible.
It’s not too late tho but i doubt enough will jump the ship to make a change
