Yeah I’m surprised at how little I’m seeing about this. I canceled last month because of the price increase, and I would not have canceled if they hadn’t raised prices. At $9-$14 it’s fine if I only watch it once a month. But at $20 it’s no longer worth it.

I'm now hopping between streaming subscriptions. Round robin style.

eg When Apple TV accumulates enough new binge worthy stuff, I'll sign up for a month. So probably once a year. Ditto all the other streamers.

It's now pretty rare that I'm compelled to see new OC apon release. Excepting The Orville, natch.

I recently got a new monitor, and new internet, so I’m finally able to watch 4K Netflix, I upgraded at right about the time the price rise went through, and must have glazed over the announcement, so I just went “oh right, that’s just got much 4K costs, ok”.

Given the subsequent lack of actual 4K content, general lack of content, and the fact that I’ll be finishing the shows I’m watching means that I’ll likely join the lost-subscriber group in a week or 2.

If you were paying $9 or $14, your new price would have been $10 or $15.50. The people paying $20 were previously paying $18.
