Netflix Hints at Price Increases, Plans to Retire Basic Service Amid Ad-Tier Growth::Netflix says subscriptions to its ad-supported service grew by 70 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023.
18 billion yearly profit last I checked.
Not enough.
Never enough.

True capitalism, the only thing that matters is if the stocks go up. More profits, all the time, or we call it a depression. Lol.
I can’t tell if you’re trying to justify ever-increasing profits and screwing over customers.
Your profits from stocks are nobody’s concern.
Fuck everyone else, you got yours, right?
FOH
I don’t know if there could have been a comment that sums up the problem. To this person Netflix is no longer a product; it’s not about the best content or the best experience anymore. It’s about getting your buck.
Netflix used to have the best content online at the best price. It now has neither and I don’t know how anyone still rationalizes subscribing.

Yikes dude.
DON’T DO THAT
We’re all super impressed.
I plan to retire Netflix amid ad growth.
Fuck off Netflix.
What I find interesting is it seems like we are again converging on the same service as cable. Which suggests that the best method of profiting off watching movies/tv at home is to have ad supported entertainment, with a monthly fee.
Once again, the profit motive ruins something good .
I hate shareholder capitalism.
That’s just capitalism.
Lol at the people still paying. Learn to use the internet.
If everyone learned to “use the internet” and stopped paying then there would be nothing to pay for because nobody works for free.
If everyone learned to use the internet then those companies would have to adapt in order to survive.
How would they adapt to offer stuff for cheaper than free?
Because piracy isn’t a pricing issue, it’s a service issue. If people can get a better service for free, then that’s what they’re going to do. It’s the same reason people go to McDonalds, everyone can make a mid burger at home, but McDs has already done it and will sell it at a price some people will find reasonable. If I could go to Netflix, pay them whatever it costs right now and actually watch the content at a resolution I actually paid for and download to keep myself a copy for later (because again, I bought it) then I’d pay for Netflix. Seeing as that’s not the case and likely won’t be because people keep paying for Netflix, we’re stuck with the status quo.
When you’re talking about downloading for later are you talking about while your Netflix subscription is active, or for after you terminate your subscription?
After as well, no DRM on downloads. Pure .mp4
So on the first day of your Netflix subscription you’d download 1000 movies then cancel your subscription…
I only had Netflix because it was
freeincluded with my T-Maybe account. They are switching it to the ad supported tier today as base, and a user has to pay extra for the non-ad supported tiers.My plan going forward is to watch the first episode with ads and if I like it I’ll search the high seas for the rest.
The enshitification continues.
Once they changed it to paying that like $1 extra for the plan, I noped off TMobile. No use for it anymore when Google Fi is way cheaper for just 2 people. I just pirated everything anyways even when we had the subscription
We’ve really been weighing whether we use Netflix enough to justify the cost lately. Don’t push us, Netflix.
been free for two or three years. i haven’t missed a thing, as far as i can tell.
Hahaha. If they remove the “basic” which I believe is standard since that’s the lowest I see. Only leaving the Premium option then I’m afraid I’m going to pull a full dragon’s den.
I really did like Netflix, but they’re just getting greedy and trying to extract blood from stone now. And for that reason, I’ll be out should they remove the standard tier.

Isn’t this like actually the 5th or 6th price hike in the last year? I already cancelled Netflix when they cracked down on password sharing but this just feels like they’re trying to lose customers
Again?
“Trump hints at fascist plans…”
It ain’t a hint.
Did you comment on the wrong post?
There are no “hints” in capitalism, just foreshadowing
It’s a comparison. This is something g you can do in language
Noticed we haven’t watched anything on it in a while. Was about to cancel it and then saw the ad for The Last Airbender live action, coming end of February.
If they drop the whole season, will binge-watch, then cancel.
I don’t care I will pay for it anyways
