Netflix Raises Prices to $18 a Month! Another Reason to Support Physical Media

[MEHEARTJC]

I asked my friend the other night. Why can't things just stay the same? I've enjoyed collecting blu-rays for over a decade now. I would love to keep buying for many more years, collecting slips and steelbooks. I love looking for bargains in stores and Black Friday.

But of course, things are changing again. I see Walmart is now making the move to push out physical media and consumers keep embracing digital which is really moronic, IMO.

If you are paying nearly $20 for Netflix, that's $240 a year. Add on Disney plus and that's another $156 and another $119 for Amazon Prime. My tv provider also charges me about $80 a month so that's well over $1000 a year for content that I never end up owning. I could buy a ton of blu-rays for that price and have content to watch as many times as I want.

I bet most people never even take a hard look how much money is going out the door each month for their streaming access.
