Technology

My mind boggles at this.

1. Netflix was already charging per screen, so there really were never any free loaders.
2. This represents a massive price jump for most users.
3. Now if you want to use the service on the go, you basically can't.
4. There is a bunch of competition now

I just get so tired of everyone rolling over and taking whatever mega corporations dish out. I would have thought on a non-essential service would be easy to push back against. Clearly I was wrong. Now every other service will see this as an opportunity.

Sometimes I hate people.

fuck netflix

I don't get it why people still pay for such a service. This decision was the last drop for me to stop using them. Sad to see what modern internet has become...

Meeh, I pirate anyway, so... I don't really care 🤷.

Thats a shame

I wish I could cancel but I can't :( it's baked into my family mobile plan.

guess it was only the vocal minority after all

And they'll just keep on raising subscription costs after that, too!

I wonder if they count all the free accounts that are happening as perks from things such as tmobile. My current T-Mobile plan offers a free 1 year Netflix but we canceled and won't ever pay for it again.

I used to go between the US/Mexico regularly and some of the apps I used decided I was now Mexican, so I’m still signed up under Netflix Mexico. It’s cheaper that way and I can still share with my parents who live in a different city. So I’ll keep it for now until they get blocked.
