  Streaming customer growth has plateaued. So they are increasing prices to try to increase revenue — because people are too lazy to cancel.

    Shocking, the pandemic may have inflated the subscriber counts for them. Of course rather than see that and switch to a stable stock, they just have to have infinite growth, even though that’s ridiculous post pandemic

    For real. What is this the 3rd or 4th price hike in a couple years? I wound up dropping from the 4k four screen plan to the $6.99 ad riddled plan because my mother in law likes to watch K dramas while she’s over babysitting. Everything else is on Plex. What a rapid downfall of what used to be a great service.

  Well peasants keep paying... Why wouldn't owner class fuck them for profit?

  At this point, we got what we deserve. Y'all are rich enough for this. Good for you.

    The sharing crackdown is what got me to cancel.

    Watching idiots in the states gladly bend over and say thank you for the lessened convenience was got me to stay cancelled. So many idiots were just “oh yup of course they need to do this it’s not a blatant money grab”.

  Unfortunately, I’m still supporting them by proxy. T-MOBILE is the only cell provider that gets reasonable coverage around my area and they give us free Netflix basic. We were paying a few dollars extra to expand that to 4 screens, but we cut out the extra bit last year.
