Meh. I cancelled Netflix when they did it and I cancelled my Hulu bundle when I got the email a couple of days ago. I know I won't make a difference, but I also won't miss either one of them.
You will make a difference because you're not the only one. Thx for doing the right thing. With enough pressure maybe they'll learn.
As much as I hate it, no, it won’t make a difference. Netflix did this and it gave them a record number of subscribers. Seems like for every 1 that cancels 2 more subscribe.
For now, sure. I mean the reason for these changes are short term earnings like always. But it won't with in the long term.
I wish you were right.
You're both right. In the long run it's going to hurt them, but very few companies strategise for the long run.
