Netflix price increase

[Jtbrig7390]

I pay for netflix but I also pirate a lot of shows. HBO Canada doesn't let you stream unless you get a cable package and then subscribe to a movie package. I don't want cable, I just want to be able to watch my shows online and have some way to pay for it. When you can get something easier and more convenient for free what incentive is there to pay for an inferior service? Give me the same stuff I can get for free at $50 a month and I'll pay for it no problem.

Canada doesn't have HBO Now? (Not HBO GO that requires google).

i can handle the slight increase. I am still pissed that we get less than 1/3 the content.

Sick of their excuses.

What excuses are you sick of? Its been well known that Netflix wants to have the majority of there content be Original Netflix stuff. Everything else costs them to have on there platform. It only makes sense they make there own stuff and have as little as possible of everything else.

Shit cost money...

I am curious if most Netflix users also pay for 'cable'

I pay for both.

[Serpha]

So your idea is that you'll just pirate as well? That's a really shitty justification that doesn't make your decision any less scummy. You're stealing and that's the end of it.

What is he stealing? Don't bother...

I don't pay for any tv thing and if I want to watch something I just pirate. As easy as. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[I Cannot Fap To That]

Meh still a good deal.

[satimy]

Still worth it

Netflix is underpriced.

[Heladys]

If a dollar breaks you, you shouldn't be watching TV anyhow.

Netflix needs better shows before they do this

shows and movies, its junk

[mogiz]

I don't mind. Netflix is my primary form of entertainment. I cut the cord a few months ago, and I have been fine with OTA and netflix. Even if netflix was to charge $15 a month I still would pay because it has the content and delivery system that I like and is cheaper than having cable.

[God Save The King]

A lot of reasons. Mostly being 1) I dont want to wait for the show to be on, I want to watch it on my own time (and not pay for dvr), and 2) Cable doesnt have it. It doesnt have a LOT of stuff (that isnt part of a $150 package)

Plus advertisements. Something feels wrong when my grandparents pay ~$120/month and have to deal with 30-40% advertisements. I pay less than $20/month for on demand content, shows whenever I want, loads of seasons, and no advertisements. The only real thing you lose out on anymore is live news, which is what my grandparents love to watch (they have 4 TVs with news on basically from 4am to 10pm).

Punisher was worth months of subscription alone

[Volitar]

While the price increase doesn't bother me more and more streaming services are popping up all with their own exclusive content, nobody wants to pay for every streaming site so I'm guessing a piracy revolution will be coming back. I'm guessing that's why a lot the big companies are pushing to end net neutrality so bad.

I forgot about that. When I'm over at someone's house and its commercial, commercial, commercial, 5 minutes of TV, commercial... I briefly thought it was an advertising channel. Nope, just a childrens network.

[Lochton]

$2 increase? I think I'll be fine.

Considering how much I watch, yeah, I'll be fine.

[Farrarie]

$2 increase? I think I'll be fine.

to you maybe, but other countries $2 means a lot.

[Shakadam]

I haven't used Netflix since they cracked down on VPN usage, because the selection anywhere outside US is complete shit and yet it costs the same.

I.e. I don't really care.

[Player Twelve]

What countries would that be? We had an increase in Sweden not long ago and it doesn't affect anyones economy.

The worst is when you're watching an immersive movie or show, lights off, and then the ad just comes on, and it's always twice as loud as the show, so it jerks you back into reality.

Thats still cheaper then non us people pay stop crying
