Netflix 2018 Price Hike

[ZenOps]

Prime has oddball stuff, they also are not prudes on nudity. Original Pokémon is nice.

Amazon music does not sound right to me, also - it does not have a big selection. How you can not have "Hotel California" and still call yourself a music service is beyond me.

Well I'm cancelling Netflix or at least downgrading, all the leechers on my account can now fuck off, I'll be getting the basic one afterwards.. Hahaha

No way I'm paying 2X Amazon Prime prices...

The streaming giant says the basic plan for subscribers remains unchanged at $9.99 a month, but the standard monthly plan is going up by one dollar to $14.99, and the premium by two dollars to $18.99

I might drop down to the standard plan at this rate.

If you have a newer Nvidia shield you don't really need 4K netflix - the upscaling is so good you won't be able to tell the difference. If you don't need the extra streams that is what I would do anyway.

Glad Telus pays my Netflix sub lol

I have the new one so I might try that. Will lose HDR but oh well.

Only if you're watching on a projector without real 4K HDR.

These guys are videophiles. Dont mind them. As is brought up constantly in this thread, just always buy the biggest in your price range. Most people won't see the difference anyways.

There's absolutely nothing on Netflix I can find worth watching anymore, if I was paying for it, I'd definitely be cancelling.. If my wife's parents cancel, I won't lose any sleep over it

Agreed. if I didn't have one of the few VPNs out there that has servers that work in every country that Netflix operates, giving me access to all the content in other areas, I'd have dropped it, as the Canadian content sucks right now so far as new programming.

[rage2]

Ya you definitely need VPN in Canada to really enjoy Netflix.

Amazon as well - Amazon went on a real nazi-hunt to eliminate as many VPNs as possible, even my go-to Astrill, which is 2 to 3x the cost of other VPNs, if not more, failed here. I had to buy a private USA VPN from Astrill to get access to Amazon USA, but at least it works. Amazon USA = many times better than Canada in terms of content.

Why would anyone still pay for Netflix when they still haven't removed that Pedo Film Cuties ?

Netflix going to cut 4K bitrate in half, apparently did so in Europe at the beginning of the pandemic and it's no bueno.

[killramos]

Seems to me like this streaming business is nowhere near as profitable as they claim

[ExtraSlow]

Profits don't matter for tech companies. That's old-economy thinking.
