2) if u cant afford an extra $$ a month, you cant afford Netflix to begin with

3) you probably spend more on coffee a day then you do Netflix a month, get ur perspective right

Millenials are cheap, bitchy and entitled. Who knew.

They keep rising prices and removing content.

How about doing it the other way around?

fucking millenials man fuck them

they keep raising the price of the service and removing the good content, so some consumers are reaching their boiling point.

plus i pay little monthly fees for a billion different things, it all adds up. especially with streaming
---

they've been slowly raising it for years

Disney's streaming service might blow Netflix out of the water

GenX likes to bend over and take it in the ass whenever corporate feels like it.

For a free market to work there needs to be pushback against businesses to ensure we are hitting efficiency.

Ya. They keep raising them, but whats changed?

Lmao. I don't like the price hike either. As for your complaining about the complaining, fuck off you pandering ass hat.
---

Dude, every pay service wants more and more. The fact that people are so rebellious about an unnecessary hike in price shows me that people are sick and tired of paying more for EVERYTHING. Most of us consider ourselves lucky if we can pay the exhorbitant prices for rent. If we are fortunate enough to have an entertainment budget, we dont need another massive corporation deciding that they need another dollar.

Fuck them and more power to the people who are boycotting them.

Lol $12 a year for an entertainment service that provides hours of entertainment a month. How will I retire

They are slowly becoming the cable companies we hate

Clearly our generation doesn't know what it was like to pay cable bills.

1) Hulu, Amazon video...pretty much anywhere else. Netflix doesn't have much going for it to be honest.
2) Who are you to tell people what they can and can't afford? It's called budget plans and sticking to it; some people can't be assed with paying the extra dollar a month.
3) That's just an assumption. Coffee is cheap as fuck. You can get a bag of mid-tier coffee for 7-8 dollars and it'll last at least a few weeks.

Hulu is a dollar a month if you have spotify and has a wider selection. Netflix has a bunch of their own shows which are poorly written for the most part. Hell, even Stranger Things didn't have great writing and people eat that shit up like candy.

This is the thing

They are just making their service worse. Honestly it's hard for me to justify having a subscription at all, let alone when they are getting worse.

This is the exact attitude that lets them get away with this. Same thing goes for video game developers who charge us $60 for half of a game and then want us to pay another $60 in DLC to either get the whole game or to have a fair chance online.

Why are costumers so greedy and want everything for free??

The amount of content and hours yall spend a month watching Netflix is GREAT VALUE

A movie ticket cost just as much and thats like 2 hours worth of entertainment

The feeling I have is people say this a lot, yet still have Netflix. I really doubt people are going to cancel

Gotta pay Adam Sandler for his next 3 or 4 movies.

I rarely use it, and don't watch movies on it. I like it for the TV shows, which have gotten crappy.

I'm thinking of cancelling and saying oh well to people who use my Netflix

Hulu is better now and I too think their original shows are crap
---

Netflix would still be a stupidly good deal even if it had no Netflix exclusive shows at all.

Hulu deserves no praise since they literally have commercials.

Of course they won't. The gap between Netflix's cost and the cost of Cable is huge. They have a ton of room to play with.

Who needs cable? If you feel the need to have TV you have a problem.

For the most part I'd agree. OITNB and Stranger Things aside, Netflix's original content bores me. Just a bunch of standup comedy specials and Adam Sandler straight to video movies.

When you're poor, a few dollars is worth a lot more to you. Guess who largely makes up the target demographic for a $8-10/mo media subscription service.

People who can afford $8-$10 a month

Im sure these same people can afford $11 a month.

Not buying coffee for a day in a month? Bam you just saved $3 there
---

Thank god I hate television lol. I bought Netflix for one month years ago, never used it, then cancelled
---

Netflix is well worth the money I'm paying and I pay the price just to not have commercials. $12-$15 a month is not even an hour of work for me either.

Hulu and HBO would be a better deal than Netflix IMO as far as content goes. But you would have to pay more.

I don't even know why I still have Netflix. I don't watch it nearly as much as I used to.
---

$12? How dare Netflix!

Time to switch to cable and pay near $100
---

So they are asking more for less. 75% of Netflix originals suck and they keep raising the price to include less outside content. Surprise surprise people don't like it.
---

I've almost watched all the new originals I wanted to and will be canceling this month anyway so eh

It's not about what people can afford. It's about what people are willing to pay for the service.

Wait is Netflix going up again? To $12?
---

Watching the latest movie @ the movies which goes for 2 hours = $10-$12 a ticket

Watching 2 tv shows or a couple of movies a month on Netflix = $10 and already better value as you spend just the same amount of time for entertainment

Like Netflix is incredible entertainment value for the price, but hey $1 price hike wheres my pitch fork
---

Netflix was so much better in 2011.

It had shows like Married With Children, Rocko's Modern Life, King of the Hill, Futurama, Family Guy, etc...

Instead of paying Adam Sandler half a billion dollars, they should have paid companies like Viacom and Fox for more content...

I am thinking about cancellation because of removal of good content with foreign trash.
