WingsOfGood 01/15/22 3:29:16 PM #1:	https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-netflix-raises-monthly-subscription-prices-us-canada-2022-01-14/ - Netflix Inc has raised its monthly subscription price by $1 to $2 per month in the United States depending on the plan, the company said on Friday, to help pay for new programming to compete in the crowded streaming TV market. The standard plan, which allows for two simultaneous streams, now costs $15.49 per month, up from $13.99, in the United States. Prices also rose in Canada, where the standard plan climbed to C$16.49 from C$14.99. he U.S. price of Netflix's premium plan, which enables four streams at a time and streaming in ultra HD, was increased by $2 to $19.99 per month. For Netflix's basic plan, with one stream, the cost rose by $1 to $9.99 per month. In Canada, the premium plan rose by C$2 to C$20.99, and the basic plan was unchanged at C$9.99. Time to stop acting like this is normal. Blah blah businesses need to raise their prices every year blah blah. No they don't You don't make that argument about employee wages suspiciously. Why would a company making more and more money before raising prices.... need to.... raise prices? They don't. The pandemic was a huge boost for them. <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:961770355] in Netflix ra...

shevman 01/15/22 3:39:24 PM #6:	Their profitability is decreasing so they have to raise prices to maintain it. Theyve basically maxed out on subscriber numbers - most people who would use Netflix have it already. So they cant make much more money from generating new subs. They also have to invest significant money into original content with big name actors because competitors like Disney have pulled their content off Netflix and started their own services. Again cutting into profitability. So increasing sub prices is the only way they can keep going. This will continue on a regular basis until Netflix simply cant keep up its profits while competitors undercut them at which point theyll probably die as a business. <cite>shevman posted [p:961770576] in Netflix ra...

WingsOfGood 01/15/22 3:47:52 PM #21:	Talib_21 posted... Well I guess Im just not as woke as you It is not about being woke, it is that if you just go "well, inflation, everything goes up." then of course everything goes up because someone is gonna be like "our costs are literally the same but we can increase prices now because everyone thinks everything is going up." And this literally is happening with many things. One thing to keep in mind is productivity goes up every year. The idea that costs always go up is a lie tbh since productivity going up actually cuts costs. For example, I make programs for this exact purpose. They literally cut costs of all sorts of labor. Management is even using these to offset "labor shortages" which is code for we don't want to hire more people cause not doing so CUTS COSTS and let the programs do the work instead. <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:961770768] in Netflix ra...

Netflix, as of late, has just been garbage. There would occasionally be a movie on there that I'd want to watch, but those instances were months apart. I couldn't stand most of the original shows. Personally, I'm the type to only subscribe when there's something specific I want to watch, enjoy it for that month, and then cancel. You're almost always going to be wasting money when you just leave things on a subscription.

That is what they were hoping. I can't change your mind though if you really like the service. Just keep in mind, they will do it again and again. I'm just numb to it at this point I guess, it won't end, but I have 0 confidence that any business is in the best interest of the consumer, it just comes down to what you are willing to pay for stuff you want. --- I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness that I encounter everywhere I turn Slayer_22 picked waifu - https://ibb.co/WD8p1Kz <cite>MabusIncarnate posted [p:961771021] in Netflix ra...

I first subbed when it was like $8 and the streaming was basically just a bonus feature/the main draw was still the DVDs. I'm also a cheap bastard that will gladly use the ad-supported version of a streaming service if it's cheaper. The only exception I make is Spotify because the free version is basically unusable on phones lol <cite>_Rinku_ posted [p:961771088] in Netflix ra...

_Rinku_ 01/15/22 4:14:39 PM #45:	AloneIBreak posted... Under what sort of circumstances would we all agree that its okay for Netflix to raise prices? I don't know if anyone is saying that it's not "okay" for them to raise prices. Consumers are just frustrated. I mentioned that when I first signed up, it was like $8/month. They had an absolutely massive catalogue of shows and movies that I actually wanted to watch. Now, the catalogue is 90% "original" garbage and it's more expensive. Like, I genuinely despise a lot of the Netflix originals because it's formulaic drama that gets drawn out to the point that even if it's interesting for half a season, it goes on for six. <cite>_Rinku_ posted [p:961771302] in Netflix ra...
