Netflix increasing prices again

Baldbloke · 22 Apr 2022 at 07:19

This morning I got an email from Netflix telling me they are putting the monthly subscription fee up once again. This time to £10.99 per month for the standard plan.

My initial reaction was to cancel my subscription altogether but opted for the lower priced basic plan at £6.99 month instead.

It doesn't seem that long since the last price increase.

Those changes were announced in March.

I must've missed the email.
I'm always last to get the gossip. D'oh!

Along with account sharing being tightened and also rumours of ads being introduced in the future…… the share price did take big hit this week though

Thanks for the link. From that link: "William Ackman, ditched his $1.1bn investment in Netflix on Wednesday, taking a loss of more than $400m." And he only just bought the shares 3 months ago. That's got to sting a bit.
I would most definitely be miffed if I lost £400 million. "Miffed" is an understatement, I'd be downright irked

Watching in SD is gonna suck

Not with my eyesight

. Anyway, if SD is intolerable I'll end my subscription. I don't value tv viewing enough to justify £11 a month.

We also have a particularly dodgy Unkle who likes to watch films of a certain "nature"

Nature programs? Lions, tigers, ephalumps and badgers?

When the prices went up I reduced my subscription from HD, £10.99 a month, to Basic SD definition, £6.99 a month. I don't notice the difference in picture quality. Do I miss HD on Netflix? Not a jot.
