I'm closing in on two years off cancelling Netflix and haven't even noticed except for saving that money. I cut most streaming actually and only have Disney & HBO Max because they had their black friday deal. Cancel it...you ain't missing shit and Tubi is way better.

joeyGibson Apr 23, 2026 +2

I rarely watch Netflix, but for some reason it's hard for me to want to cancel. I've been a subscriber since they first started shipping DVDs, so there's a nostalgia factor involved, I guess.

jr_randolph Apr 23, 2026 +5

F*** that - I'm not running your life but that's not a good enough reason to keep it. Have it for your kids, I can understand...but besides that...go head and cancel that shit bro. Believe me, they have no type of positive nostalgia towards you considering they keep increasing costs...

Electronic-Ideal2955 Apr 23, 2026 +3

I only do one sub at a time, which means constant canceling. It's not a moral stance or anything. I sub back back when they have new shows I want to watch.

breakevencloud Apr 23, 2026 +2

Yeah, I canceled it last year and haven’t missed it a single time, yet. I’m, admittedly, not a big TV show/movie person, but after getting, what felt like, a price hike every 3 months, that was the end of it for me, along with a few other subscription services, and I’m glad I did it

Buybacks were illegal until [Ronald Reagan](https://theantitheist.substack.com/p/the-third-man-that-did-the-most-damage)

Buybacks were made illegal after the Great Depression for obvious reasons. Leave it to a republican to bring it back…

24

Obvious_Chapter2082 Apr 23, 2026 +2

What was the obvious reason?

2

MammothPosition660 Apr 23, 2026 +7

Long story short: Buybacks offer a c**** 'out' for businesses which are literally not running well, but whom want to boost their share prices. It's like if you make pizza, and in order to make your business look good, you literally paid your friend Harry to buy all of the pizza, and then raise prices as a result. Buybacks contribute massively to Stock Market Bubbles, which caused the Great Depression, which caused The Financial Crisis of 2008, and which will cause this now impending financial crisis, which is 100% attributable to the heinous actions of the Trump Administration alone.

James---Trickington Apr 23, 2026 +2

Too much to type, google “how stock buy backs helped lead to the Great Depression”. It’s not the sole cause but it is a contributing factor. Which is why they banned it after. Then Reagan doing his Reaganomics things, legalized it again, further contributing to the destruction of the middle class’s future that we are all still dealing with today.

Stock buybacks should be illegal.

Impressive_Box4144 Apr 23, 2026 +32

If they can afford to do that then maybe they didn’t need to raise rates

beepbeepbubblegum Apr 23, 2026 +4

It’s almost like these corporations can do whatever they want and charge whatever they want and nobody will do anything.

breakevencloud Apr 23, 2026 +6

I’m of the opinion that subscription services like this should have to send out an email/snail mail to all subscribers and get a “I accept” type of box checked from them before they can institute the price hike. If they don’t get responses back, which would obviously happen, then they have to cancel the persons membership instead of just hiking it on them.

> On April 22, Netflix’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $25 billion of common stock, without an expiration date, the company disclosed in an SEC filing Thursday. That’s designed to return cash to shareholders — and goose the price of Netflix shares, which took a major hit after the company clinched an $83 billion deal to buy Warner Bros.’ streaming and studios business.

Sounds right, worried about their income before worrying about the consumer.

Either ban stock buybacks, OR tax them at a 1:1 interest rate

Obvious_Chapter2082 Apr 23, 2026

We already do tax them, and there’s really no reason to want them banned

Other than companies aren’t investing that money into employees, R&D, or anything that benefits anyone other than shareholders

Companies buy back their stock when there’s no other available profitable investments for them to spend cash on

-2

fuck-nazi Apr 23, 2026 +3

Which as I reiterated before does nothing but benefit share holders, at the expense of workers and purchasers of their products

3

amegaproxy Apr 23, 2026

Why are you assuming those are mutually exclusive? The workers at netflix will be able to get discounted shares, any other "worker" can buy netflix shares, pensions, 401ks will have netflix stock. Stop getting mad just because you've been told "shareholder" is a big scary word.

0

fuck-nazi Apr 23, 2026 +2

Majority of workers aren’t “shareholders” majority of workers are facing 1-2% wage increase in the face of double digit inflation. Which is a defacto pay cut

2

amegaproxy Apr 23, 2026

How many workers at Netflix own shares in their company? How many retirement funds own a percentage of Netflix shares? How many workers at Netflix received a > 2% pay increase within the last two years? I presume you aren't about to say that you're talking about the wider workforce as a whole - but if you are for some bizarre reason, then what on earth do they have to do with how Netflix chooses to deploy their capital and how would the entire economic workforce have benefitted from Netflix either holding on to this or (almost certainly) paying it out as dividends instead?

GoldenGirlagain Apr 23, 2026 +2

Maybe invest in paying employees more or reducing the price of their services. Just an idea.

Raise prices to fund stock buybacks. Fun

Nouseriously Apr 23, 2026 +2

Companies carrying billions in debt shouldn't be allowed to borrow more for stock buybacks

2

SVTContour Apr 23, 2026 +2

Netflix actually earns more interest than they pay by keeping their debt and holding the cash. 3.5% for the debt and 4.5% on their cash.

2

GoldenGirlagain Apr 23, 2026 +2

Nothing says a company’s doing great than having to buy back their own stock.

I’ve spent hours trying to cancel Hulu. All I get is the run around. Hulu to Disney to Amazon to Roku. I’m impressed by the people who say they take free trials or cancel after a few months. What is the secret?

Ostentatious_Kilroy Apr 23, 2026 +1

Start cancelling streaming services in mass. Start buying all the physical media you can.

Stambro1 Apr 23, 2026 +1

We knew that was gonna happen when they raised the prices again!!
