Netflix increasing prices again

I'm still interested to know how they'd enforce a sharing lock. Could I no longer watch stuff on a data connection or when I'm on someone's else's WiFi. Seems a slippery slope imo.
 
I saw the thread title and thought it was going up yet again
Till i entered the thread and noticed it was an old thread..

A mod should edit the title with "Old Thread" or something
 
Unless they can start putting out multiple good series and some more massive hits like Breaking Bad to get people talking I don't see Netflix having much of a future. Now every Tom Dick and Harry had their own streaming service they can't rely on being able to license popular programs like they used to, and if all the Netflix own brand shows are rubbish then the decline will just continue.

The brand has definitely suffered from the rubbish they put out too. When I still had Netflix there were too many series I started watching because they looked like they had potential only to find out they were just more padded out fluff. Netflix deliberately make it difficult to actually find what they have on the platform and see how it's rated by external sources like imdb or rotten tomatoes. Just becomes such a chore trying to find something to watch which doesn't have a poor rating when you look it up. Might subscribe again if they release a show I really want to see, but will be assuming everything else on Netflix isn't worth watching unless I've already seen a good review.
 
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.
 
The basic plan is 480P, even on modern phones that resolution isn't going to cut it. Kind of feels like a downgrade of big proportions for the sake of a few quid saving a month?

This. Frankly I wouldn't even watch it for free at that resolution.
 
OK - so its not even bbc(eu) SD standard 576i - where if you have a decent upscaler in tv, it's competitive with 1080i

netflix had just made more redundancies -
was listening to an interview with Peter Kosminsky who has an upcoming russia cyber warfare series on c4,
who said he would not prostitute himself to netflix - he thought their material was too internationalized and UK viewers deserved better

Only makes sense if the ads are a the beginning of an episode or when idle, not breaking up and episode for ad breaks.

I remember trying to watch a The Booth at the End on Hulu back in 2011. It's only 20min epodes yet they managed 4 ad breaks. It was unwatchable.

I would imagine they do it properly and embed them into the app like YouTube does. Which is fine for things like a PC, but I'm not sure how well it would play through a browser on a smart TV, or even on your phone/tablet.
