Netflix Raising U.S. Prices for Second Time in a Year

Didn't they just get like 3 billion dollars

And they will keep raising them until people start leaving in meaningful numbers.

Why would I pay more money for a shrinking catalog?

Groceries and gas prices are going up, and billionaire companies are cutting jobs meanwhile making existing workers do 3 roles in 1, and giving 1.1% annual raises. Doesn’t even cover the average cost of living increase. Meanwhile Netflix is out here raising prices annually. Netflix has raised prices 5 times since 2020. Standard users pay $7 more per month than pre-pandemic. Premium users pay $11 more per month. Since 2020: ∙ Overall cost of living (CPI): up 26% ∙ Netflix Standard plan: up 54% ∙ Netflix Premium plan: up 69% Netflix has raised prices roughly 2 - 3x faster than general inflation.

> Netflix, for the second time in a little over a year, is raising prices for its three plans in the U.S. The new pricing for Netflix’s plans were updated on its website Thursday. > Under the higher pricing, Netflix’s Standard With Ads plan will now cost $8.99/month, up $1 from $7.99 previously. The Standard plan (no ads, viewing on up to two devices simultaneously) is rising by $2, from $17.99/month to $19.99/month. And the Premium plan (no ads, streaming on up to four devices at once, Ultra HD and HDR) is rising from $24.99/month to $26.99/month.

I shared an account with my parents but ever since they made that too difficult to continue I haven’t attempted to use them once, and I truly haven’t missed a single thing.

These motherfuckers. I’ve had Netflix since like 2004. I’m f****** OUT.

This is why they don’t have an annual subscription.

They just played a 4 hour opening game for the Yankees and Giants with wall to wall long ads. They can go f*** themselves along with Peacock.

Really glad I canceled Netflix a long time ago. There simply just isn’t enough good shows to justify the ever increasing subscription price. If I want to watch a movie that’s currently on Netflix I’ll just rent it for $4

You guys are all complaining about the price too high and the content not being good enough, but have you ever once thought about the shareholders? These people worked really hard that one time. They need to see growth, and they can’t create anything so it’s up to you to give them more money. So stop being selfish and pony up. It’s good for the economy! /s

$26.99/ month. Fuuuucccckkkkkk youuuu!

So im done with netflix. They haven't had anything i wanted to watch in a while anyway. Ill stick with the other 4 streaming services I already pay for.

Man, greed truly knows no limits.

Merger: raise prices No merger: also raise prices

Ain’t shit to watch on Netflix!!

Argh! It's times like these that make me glad I sailed out to sea and never came back 🏴‍☠️

I ditched Netflix 10 years ago and it doesn't look like I need to go back.

Ain't even shit on there to watch

Yeah this is where I leave you, Netflix.

Oh hey, good thing I canceled after Stranger Things!

Thank the gods that my wife and I get it free through T-Mobile since they're our phone carrier.

I dont get it, do they really have the "pricing power" that this article suggests? I cant think of one good show atm that I'd pay to watch on Netflix. But I am very happy with my Disney/Hulu/HBO + AppleTV combo that I pay $50/mo for. I have plenty of shows I enjoy watching as well as some I didnt even think I'd like, and yet the only somewhat recent show I can name on Netflix is Stranger Things. I wont lie though, if they ever get a 2nd season of Attorney Woo, I'm paying :)

I left years ago when they eliminated the tier I had been grandfathered into. Haven’t missed it one bit.

Interesting they waited until after MLB opening day to announce this. Show people that they have exclusive major sporting events and then extort them if they want to see more.

The delivery cost of shipping those DVDs must really be cutting into their profits. /s

I would imagine they're trying to recoup losses from people cancelling. When the cost of things people need go up, like gasoline, the first thing people cut are luxuries like fast food and Netflix. Not a great strategy to get people back

I cancelled Netflix last year lol, f*** them.

Double the price times 0 is still $0.00 for me.

Diabolical greed

Glad I only have it cause it’s free with my phone plan.

Probably going to go ahead and cancel at this point. I barely watch anything as it is and the prices are just ridiculous.

HAHAHA! And people continue to believe physical media is inferior. I bought movies twenty years ago on disc that haven’t up-charged me again and again…

I canceled Netflix last year.

This is why I just stream online

Time to sail the seas

Well, everyone knows WHAT to do, they just lack the courage to do it.

I feel like people keep saying they'll leave and they don't ever leave. I know the Internet is the minority towards what is actually what people think, but I would think at some point people would stop paying for shit, but then again we did come from cable that was still more expensive than what this stuff is now

I’m out. No one needs this

[whentosub.com](http://whentosub.com) is super helpful

Thank God my work gives me this shit for free

I feel like they shouldn’t be allowed to increase the price on you unless you terminate your current subscription

They had all this money to buy Warner Brothers-Discovery, but now that they aren’t they are raising prices? Make it make sense.

Don't f****** pay it. You can literally stream anything from there for free. Its not hard

It’s crazy that people still have a subscription. Should’ve been out when they stopped allowing you to share your account. Better late than never I guess.

You guys still pay?

Because they can.

I like Netflix okay but they themselves basically have switched their focus to their original content which I do like some of, but post stranger things and CK is there really a huge show that people are paying to stay and watch?

Just in time for MLB's 1st game of the season.. only on NF 🫤

Netflix fumbles opening day broadcast epically and their first thought is let’s charge people more for this!

I've had netflix since the time it came out... Like 20+ years now with zero lapses in my subscription. I'm very close to the point where I cancel.

Sounds like they need a little help paying off that $75 million bribe.

Eh, I canceled my subscription years ago. I just download the few things I like on there.

Will do what I always do and sub less over the course of a year, especially when I can consume what I want in a 1 or 2 month period just fine.

canceled them and don't miss them at all.

Oh come on. My household uses Netflix pretty much daily but I’m not gonna pay the top tier price. I’ll reluctantly drop down to the standard option

I left yesterday - it’s too expensive & I hate it-easy call to make

Must be losing folks like crazy. I mean have to charge more since they have less business, right?

Publicly traded with vc/pe attached. Never good.

Haha I'm glad I left years ago

$24 more per year.🤷🏻‍♂️

I cancelled my subscription two years ago. At this point I’ll subscribe for just a month once every year to watch all the stuff I want to and then cancel it again.

US prices go up but the price at sea stays the same.

You suck Netflix

Let me guess gas prices are digging into their DVD rentals?

And still they provide no way to filter out non native English content or foreign content. No offense to anyone, I just am not a fan of voice overs. I’m finally going to pull the plug this time.

Gen Xer … have never paid for Netflix or basically any streaming service. F*** ‘em resistandunsubscribe.com

Netflix getting canceled ❌

I closed my account 5 years ago,physical media bitches.

Sail the seven seas mateys

My Bsf Josh says no company hates their customers more than Netflix 🤣🤣

We got rid of Netflix over a year ago and we don’t miss it.

Meanwhile it takes literal years for subsequent seasons of popular shows to be released. I’m so over it.

they’re trying to get their coffers packed before everyone cancels once basic amenities become too expensive. they see the writing on the wall

There are more other important things in life than to pay rich people and lose your time watching movies

Stranger Things is over LOL you have no power here.

I had Netflix years ago and cancelled them when they decided repeated price increases were a good thing. I had Peacock last year but cancelled them when they suddenly introduced tons of ads in my prepaid ad free one year subscription, then tried to charge me more to remove the ads they inserted. Lmao.

Which is why I’ll never pay for Netflix. But still watch all their shows, free of charge.

They raised the price right as they announced MLB games on Netflix this season. They know some people will cancel but they’re banking on sports fans making up the difference

How do you have to pay WHILE having ads? How do you raise the price on your ad-tier?

That's why you get it for free from other sites lol. No I won't tell you how. Yes many sites exist. Be smarter than others for once.
