They’ll probably pin it on the actors and writers when we all know it’s because they lost subscribers to their no password sharing policy.
they lost subscribers to their no password sharing policy.
In what world? They gained subscribers when they did that lol.
Their content sucks, and people are starting to cut ties, but don’t pretend it’s because people were upset they couldn’t share their accounts.
They lost subscribers and gained subscribers. The net total may have increased but they absolutely lost people from doing that.
Okay. You could say that if three people left and 8 million could have signed up. It’d be factually true. So?
The comment I replied to was claiming the price hike is because they lost subs because of the password changes. That implies the loss was big enough to reduce their income to the point they needed more. It’s not.
I agree with you there. There could be negative repercussions involving the subscribers they did lose in the form of bad PR.
Sadly they had a net increase in subs after the policy change.
Whenever businesses try to ‘pin’ raising prices of an already profitable product on anything, we know the real justification is this:
“We know people are going to pay it and it will make us more money. That’s why we do it. We’re just saying it’s something else for the useful idiots who think businesses are their friends.”
They actually got more subs (in most countries), its just that theyre bloating up, and compeition is happening which atm is making for a better or worse depending on how you look at it, situation for the consumer.
It’s been four months since I shitcanned Netflix. Have not missed it one bit. I already wasn’t watching it because it had become little more than shitty true crime documentaries.
Kind of a shame cuz they’ll occasionally release something like Beef, but it’s not worth the 1 or 2 shows a year for me.
We dumped it back in April I think? It was whenever they started actually enforcing their password policy in Canada and we saw the writing on the wall. Our experience has been just like yours. We do not miss it, at all.
We were definitely riding the cusp of cancellation for a while now, they raise the prices again and we’re for sure out. Most of the content frankly sucks and what I wanted to watch on there is always locked away on some other equally shitty service. These fucking morons really don’t understand how hard they’re going to resurrect the pirating glory days with endless greed.
Honestly the quality is much worse now and it’s noticeable. The worst thing is when it’s really obviously because they’ve been calculating the best way to minimise costs on their best shows. Both top boy and sex education had their final seasons this year and both were rife with issues and numerous key actors just AWOL. Clearly Netflix has 3 season contracts and is playing hardball on the 4th season so people are just missing and everyone else just has to cover the slack leading to messy finales. I once thought nothing was worse than abrupt cancellations. Turns out dogsh*t endings are worse.
Why does anybody watch series from any producer anymore? They’re literally all a shit show and never get completed.
That’s another reason I like my video games, especially standalone games.
You can stream pretty much anything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/
Make sure you have uBlock Origin installed.
If you get stuck, try googling “free streaming sites reddit” and go from there.
Use your brain, not your wallet.

Does anyone else feel like Blockbuster might be getting a comeback story?
Geez, we’d be looking at north of $20/mo. for the modern quality level/resolution.
At those rates, I’ll just buy a 4K Blu-ray every month. At least that way I know I’m getting good content (and better A/V quality to boot).
Go nuts on bluray around black Friday. Be willing to wait to own things til later. Gain interest in movies that flopped. Before you know it you’ll own insane amounts of high quality movies for cheap.
This feels like just the next step in removing adfree plans. Keep raising prices until subscribers significantly drop. Cancel adfree plan because “no one uses it”. Netflix is the scape goat and all other services follow suit.
Boom. Back to shitty cable.
We all started as a frog in a pot of tepid water.
you know that this premise is wrong, right? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog
Ahoy me matey!
I’m so glad I can just pirate everything I want
Yeah, buying media you can get for free is just like watching ads when there are adblockers.
It’s for the tech-illiterate and those with more money than sense.
Piracy is an accessibility and quality control problem, not a cost one. I pirate pretty much everything but still purchase physical releases so I can support content creators. Of course most Netflix originals never get physical releases so f*ck em.
In my case is a cost one for sure, I just cant afford to pay for every single streaming platform, I pay for spotify no problem, all my music is in there.

That depends on who you ask, lol.
You’re just parroting Gabe Newell as though what he said is gospel.
He’s a great man with a lot of good things to say, but this simply isn’t true.
If you’re paying for something you can get for free while the business selling it to you is making egregious profit, you may be a sucker.
I really wish my wife would let me cancel this.
I’m in the same boat. She’s convinced that using twice it every 6 months is worth it. I don’t even know what we pay for it these days, $14.99? Not worth making a big deal about at this point. We did cancel Hulu (better than Netflix,
imo) and paramount some months ago, so I’ll take that and deal.

“Hmm, we just finished killing off a revenue stream, better raise rates on the other.”
Yes, I’m still mad about the DVD service ending. Legitimately hurt my interest in movies.
Just get a VPN and then you can download anything for free.
