Netflix Raising Prices...Again

Recommended Posts

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/15/media/netflix-raising-prices/index.html

 

"All three of the company's plans will increase in price by $1-$2. The standard $11 plan, for example, will increase to $13 per month.

The price hikes will be applied to all existing members over the next few months. New members will be charged the new price immediately. Its $8 plan will go up to $9 and it's $14 plan will go up to $16 a month."

 

This price hike is the largest in company history.

 

I know all the GC members are millionaires, but at what point do you say stop? I mean, you all didn't become millionaires because you're spending MORE, right? I'm at the point now where I might have to drop a subscription (Hulu, Amazon, whatever etc..) or two. With Game of Thrones debuting in April, that will be another $16 (at least for the subsequent 3 months while GoT is on).

I'll continue to subscribe. We have several shows we watch off it and my kid in the military uses it alot.

 

My daughter at college uses our subscription. Supposedly they are supposed to be cracking down on subscription sharing as well.

I get a free subscription to Netflix. My son likes it for kid shows but I think its garbage for movies. Amazon Prime Instant is far better.

Yep,I watched a news article on it this morning some technology they're developing to be able to see how many are using shared passwords.

Both of our kids at college use it, but each account is allowed up to 4 users. Hopefully they're not changing that policy along with price increase.

After I finish up Ozark and Narcos I'm out. But they can probably do the Narcos thing for a while. We'll see.

This.

 

We use it daily, both kids and the wife. Have the deal with the 4 screens at a time.

 

Use Amazon Prime (other great benefits to Prime, free 2-day delivery, music etc.) as well but,concerning TV, not in the same hemisphere as Netflix.

Netflix

Fiber Optic plan

Amazon

 

And I hardly watch TV.

 

Wife and kids do though.

 

I'd love to get rid of them all.

Why? Bcoz they can.

 

Netflix isn't stupid... They see dumbasses shelling out $1100 for iPhones every year - they know there's plenty of gravy to go around, most won't even notice.

This for sure, it’s grossly inexpensive as it is for the quality and quantity of content available.

$11 per month to $13 per month ? Sounds reasonable.

 

But don't most people share Netflix accounts since they give out 4+ subscriptions per customer? My friend gave me a password and said it's so cheap to forget about the money. I assumed most people did that.... get it free from friends or relatives.

4 devices per account is the top tier - from $13 to $16.

Probably will cancel Netflix at least for awhile. Just cancelled sling, had that mostly for mnf and better call Saul. Been using Hulu quite a bit recently... Will keep for awhile then probably switch back to Netflix and/or sling down the road. AP will keep... We get a ton of crap delivered and watch it quite a bit too.

We just got Netflix. I haven't had it in a few years. My wife had never seen it before. She's totally hooked now.

 

Like the above poster said, worth it at double the price. Sure, I CAN torrent everything, but it's a pain.

Is the Netflix content sensored? Or is it all behind your VPN?

It's all behind the VPN.

 

This is the first year I've had good enough internet in china to try to use it. It works great.

 

Every once in a while, Netflix won't work, as it says it detects a proxy. If I change the location around a bit, it starts working again.

My brother and my wife's brother have been using my account for at least 5 years, saving them around $600 each. Am I a dbag for thinking they should at least offer me a couple bucks?

I'm in Canada for work this week and tried to use my VPN to watch Amazon Prime Videos. It detected the proxy and shut me down. I was surprised I couldn't watch Amazon in Canada. Netflix worked though.

Yeah, it used to be a real b!tch to get Netflix working in china I'm told. Seems like they are easing up on proxies or something.

 

I've never tried Amazon. I don't buy anything from them honestly. I have a Kindle, but I load it with books I pirate for free.

Keeping Netflix

Amazon Prime is a given just for the shipping

 

Gotta lose Hulu. Might finish Castle Rock first.

Definetly take you out to dinner. It's the gesture thats important, not the actual money.

I am so stinking rich that I wont even notice that I have $2 less per month going forward. In fact, I may pay them an extra $2 a month if that is an option.

The only thing that annoys me is that I, not having a US credit card, buy prepaid cards for a year at a time when I go home. Now, my year will run out a month early.
