Another year, another Netflix price increase...

[JordanWearinThe45]

Netflix is raising the prices of its standard and premium plans. Its standard plan, previously $13 a month, is now $14, while the premium plan has been raised from $16 to $18 a month. The price of the basic service is unchanged at $9 a month.

For existing subscribers, the new pricing will kick in over the next two months, according to CNBC, and Netflix will alert users to the changes 30 days ahead of time.

The latest increases were not unexpected. The company raised prices in Canada earlier this month, and analysts have been predicting for several months now that new increases were on the way. Netflix also recently ditched its long-running free trial period in the US.

The streaming service’s last price hike was in 2019, when the company raised prices on all of its plans in the US. It’s not clear if the company also intends to raise prices in other markets.

They are going to continue to push it until subscribers start to leave

There’s a fine line here. You push it too high, and people start to pirate shows instead of paying the subscription fee. I wonder what that line is, and if we’re close to it?

I don't care. They more than earn it with all the content they provide

For real. This isn't a shot at "broke boys" or discounting people's complaints, but Netflix has a lot of content for the price.

I know everybody doesn't watch everything, but the fact you can go from a sketch show to a movie to a comedy special to a documentary to a drama and really never run out of stuff to watch is becoming something people are taking for granted.

They need to stop wasting money on trash like adam sandler movies though

I don’t agree with this, but I do respect the production Quality they put in barbarians or even transformers,,,
