Yeah... at $15.50 a month I'm definitely going back to cherry picking. With the amount of content coming out of HBO Max, that's just not justifiable as an ongoing subscription... Especially when you can just sub for a handful of months out of the year and binge....

Water Panda · 01-14-2022, 09:40 PM

Yeah, I think I'm priced out at this point. Might resub to binge watch new episodes of The Witcher, but honestly I'm ok with waiting for a home video release on that one. (Good chance it eventually happens like Stranger Things.)

HBO Max is a far more appealing option.

I already unsuscribed months ago. Will reactivate for one month every six months. No streaming option is worth what Netflix wants

ps3bd_owner · 01-14-2022, 09:57 PM

The more they increase, the less Netflix is worth subbing.

unberechenbar · 01-14-2022, 10:30 PM

Glad I unsubscribed last year.

neoz · 01-15-2022, 05:04 AM

Yeah I'm dropping them as well. $15.49 x 12 = $185.88 a year not counting taxes. No thanks....

Netflix these days feels more like they value quantity over quality.

They need a lot of product to make it feel like it's worth subscribing to especially with studios all pulling their content for their own streaming services. Can't blame them.

biggquis · 01-15-2022, 06:39 AM

$15.50? Am I the only one paying for premium service? lol. I was at $17.99 I think. I have no issues paying up. I suppose I'm their favorite customer. Set and forget autopay while using their service a couple of days per week. I feel like Netflix is my must have, and the other services can come and go throughout the year

I pulled the plug about 6 months ago and haven't looked back.
I just found I would go a week or more and never even touch Netflix.
My brother and I split Prime which has a ton of content and we get a lot of stuff shipped via Amazon. So I feel like I get some value out of that.

There are a few shows I want to finish up, final season of Ozark, "You", Derry Girls etc but as you said, I will hop on for a month and knock those out.

daudino · 01-15-2022, 02:53 PM

Definitely glad I already sign up for a month, get through all my content, then cancel.

Looks like I last cancelled at the end of August and was thinking of signing up again in mid-February as my watch list is getting a bit heavy.

I think signing up for 2 months a year will be my sweet spot for them.

y2jman · 01-15-2022, 06:35 PM

it would be nice if my brother starts paying Netflix I also got premium service and I got his whole family on it

the only reason why I was paying for Netflix because I was still paying dvd/bluray in mail I stop that 2 years ago

ps3bd_owner · 01-17-2022, 01:32 PM

I just remembered Netflix canceled that garbage Cowboy Bebop series they made and now they're bumping the price of the service? Wtf.

HBO Max, Peacock, Hulu, and Disney+ have much better content than Netflix does.

Yup-- HBO Max is looking like a waaaay better value dollar for dollar.

Plus-- aren't they going to eventually integrate with Discovery?

Man, once they add HGTV & FOOD network programming that should grab ALOT of cord-cutters.

Warm Gun · 01-17-2022, 03:30 PM

I'm glad that after all these years of being on Netflix Classic, the prices have stayed the same. Sucks that a lot of the service centers are gone and I can only rent half the number of movies each week that I used to, but at least they haven't made it even worse by hiking the prices up to.

If HBO Max bought the rights to stream the original seasons of Trailer Park Boys (the best Canadian series ever made) and the movies, basically all non-NF content of TPB that'd be another blow for Netflix.

It's not that I hate Netflix or want their demise, just that they're no longer the solid streaming service they once were, yet they keep increasing the price as if it's worth it.

meremortal · 01-17-2022, 05:37 PM

I was really glad to get on the BF deal for Hulu at $0.99/mth and AMC+ for like $25 prepaid for a year despite the ads. Also have Prime and so I'm not as urgent with Netflix right now. A lot of people also forget about the thousands of free movies on Vudu, YT, etc.

Poya · 01-17-2022, 06:03 PM

The fact they're gonna use all that cash to fund 2 Red Notice movies is sickening.

cheez avenger · 01-17-2022, 06:21 PM

Still worth it. Most spend that much on a coffee, or pint.
