Netflix Raising prices during Covid

[MossRoad]

What does COVID have to do with it? They raised prices in non-COVID years, too.

it's twice in one year raising prices, and the working "updating" is irritating.
We are getting less premium content than last year too.
None of the other services have done 2 raises this year.

I keep pestering my wife to drop them, we can barely find anything useful.

Nothing there for me.

I canceled Netflix a couple years ago, wasn't difficult at all. Their library wouldn't look nearly as big if they didn't put every movie/show in 3-4-5 different categories, how many times do I have scroll past the same show. Lol. I'll probably sign back up when the next season of stranger things comes out then cancel again.

My wife signed is up for appletv to watch Servant. It's only $5/month and it's got some other stuff on there we're gonna watch for a bit before we cancel.

Yup, cancelled mine last week and signed up for Discovery, probably in a year or so I'll get bored with that and go back to Netflix or something else. Although the price of it rubs me the wrong way. Couple of months ago the wonderful govnt just added 15% tax to streaming services and then Netflix upped their rate, that was the straw .............Mike

Netflix has no ratings or reviews, so have to look things up on pc/phone.
Hard to find anything.

One factor in using Netflix is that there are no Ads. Does Discovery have ads?

That is my biggest beef with every streaming service I've seen.

They regurgitate the same movie and show listings over and over in the different categories.

They all do that, even the free-with-ads sites.

Once upon a time Netflix was the place to go, if it was available for streaming it was there. Now everyone and their grandmother wants a piece of the pie and their own stream service, and they're pulling the stuff they own off Netflix to have exclusivity on their site.
