      Their streaming quality is poor at best. You’re paying more for a worse service… I guess that’s the normal now, though.

      I’ve fully embraced sailing the seas again. Also I’ve found if you go through the trouble of downloading something you’re more likely to watch it.

    3. CadBane_29 on

      And yet the quality of content won’t go up, everything I want to watch will still be spread across 7 other services

      Thank god for physical media

      I stopped subscribing about 3 price rises ago and haven’t looked back. What you are paying for I don’t know…their mistake for paying Harry and Megan millions for shite shows? And get the user to absorb the costs than the people who run Netflix to actually learn from their mistakes and stop making crap no one wants to watch

      How ironic that the very streaming services that stopped me from piracy are now pushing me back to it.

      It’s already reached the point that watching everything I want legitimately costs more than renting a seedbox. The more they increase their prices, the less inclined I am to play by their rules.

      It amazes me how much people complain, but continue to pay.

      Just stop using it. Its not even very good anymore. I mean fuck, swap to apple tv, HBO max, sky, prime, litterally anything else.

      Meanwhile I’ve just renewed my dodgy fire stick subscription until may next year for £60. Practically every movie, tv show, and channel you can think of at my fingertips. Stop giving these clowns money

    8. Self-Exiled on

      I subscribed to Netflix shortly before the pandemic. It was £9. Now it is 2x that value.

      … and they have been laying off scores of employees.

      All to payout more to their shareholders. Id suggest unsubscribing from the lot and read a book or play a video game.

    11. TaskMister2000 on

      I think after Squid Game S3, Stranger Things S5, Alice In Borderlands S3 and maybe some other shows I’ve listed, if I manage to see it all by the end of this year, Im cancelling my Netflix. It’s just really not worth it after that. It’s back to the Seven Seas for me.

    12. zeldja on

      I unsubscribed during one of their earlier price hikes. £16 for the 4k option was already too much for me, forget about £19!

      Their pivot to “second screen experiences” suggests content will continue to go downhill.

    13. rev9of8 on

      Am I an ejjit for thinking Netflix don’t offer sufficient price differentiation and product tiers?

      I live on my own but have a 4K screen and ultrafast broadband at a gig a second. I want a 4K streaming service but don’t need multiple devices streaming at the same time.

      To get 4K with Netflix’s current subscription packages I have to also shell out for shit like multiple devices being able to stream at the same time. I don’t see why I should need to shell out for this and the other shit that is part of their package that permits 4K.

    15. Matt-the-mutt on

      “Customers on the Standard tier will now have to pay an extra £2 per month, with the price of Netflix’s most popular plan jumping to £12.99”

    16. caufield88uk on

      I just recently bought a LG G4 TV and using netflix less and less as I refuse to pay double the price for the 4k and the quality for surround sound on normal plan is terrible.

      Been watching more on Amazon prime and Disney +

    17. call092 on

      Am I the only person happy with Netflix?? I think there is too much to watch. I’ve always got a backlog. I don’t know how people find the time when most of us are at work 5 days a week. It’s got to be much cheaper than sky or virgin media

    18. Admirable_Aspect_484 on

      It might be somewhat controversial to praise the BBC on here, but I find iPlayer to be a pretty reliable streaming platform. I don’t watch any of the new stuff, but the back catalogue of shows is pretty good.

      Apple TV+ is also really good but the entire catalogue can be watched in a month

    20. CaptainTrip on

      Eh, you know, I understand inflation but they’re pushing me beyond the price point where I feel like it’s something I should just have by default as opposed to something I’d buy and cancel as shows I wanted to see came out. 

    21. Dugg on

      I an way, Netflix is a victim of its own success. Back in the early days Netflix didn’t have to spend that much on content as the studios didn’t really understand streaming and didn’t really understand the value. Netflix got good deals on big name content. Over the years it got more expensive as the revenue grew. Studios now have their own platform and keep hold of their own content.

      Although not directly related, Sky will lose exclusivity with Warner Bros. The entire industry is reshaping.

    22. Kisrah on

      I quit after they got rid of the tier I was on. Probably won’t even subscribe temporarily now. I’d rather miss the shows than accept yet another price hike.

    23. Jensablefur on

      I reckon that’ll shake me out of the tree.

      Netflix is just a case of scrolling through slop now. If you’ve watched the big flagship shows on it already you’re basically done with the platform.

    24. mushroompig on

      Got an advert in the middle of a film the other day. Cancelled my sub instantly, could cope with adverts before and after the program but not during it. Fuck you Netflix, I’m not paying to watch adverts.

      Avast shipmates.

    26. wombat6168 on

      What do they think people will do ,keep paying more and more for nothing. Just as the BBC is finding out as more people drop the licence fee. 🚢 🚢 will be hoisting the old flags once again.

    28. PlaneyMcPlanefaceX on

      Netflix = high volume / low quality content

      Apple TV = low volume / high quality content

      Oh… and FireStickTricks.com 🙃

    30. HandleTheDefence on

      Remember when Netflix encouraged people on their own twitter to share passwords? 

      Then they raised their own prices because people were password sharing.

      Then they cracked down on password sharing, all while continuing to raise the price and produce less and less quality product and lose more shows to other streaming sites. 

      Netflix is absolute shite nowadays.

    31. -stoneinfocus- on

      I think I already know the answer, but is there any method to basically keep getting content as easily as Netflix through a PlayStation? What’s the best way to go? Download stuff on my computer to use via plex or similar? Dodgy fire stick? (no idea where even to start with that, I don’t know “a guy” and had an android box years ago that never worked but if they can now get all the streaming services and ad free YouTube then I’d love to know more ) 

    33. Taken_Abroad_Book on

      I’m using a vpn and paying 649 Indian rupees per month for the top level subscription. It’s about £5.50.

      I didn’t even need to make a new account. Just cancelled it, changed address and signed up with the Vpn.

      The only caveat is it doesn’t auto renew every month. It tries and fails so I need to manually go and pay. Also, I pay with revolut so there’s no fees.

    35. Demoliscio on

      I cancelled my subscription last week, they keep rising prices while the quality of their offer gets worse and worse.

      Get tae fuck

    36. BlackStarDream on

      (Laughs in I bought a 4K upscaling Blu-ray player and everybody kept getting angry and confused about me “wasting money” on physical media when Netflix exists and is cheap and I’m getting movies for about £1 each and the 15 year old Blu-rays and 25 year old DVDs look better than Netflix HD and 4K quality and I actually get to keep them and enjoy all the special features and I’m not paying for rubbish I don’t want to watch and never will watch.)

    37. DaiYawn on

      Streaming services have forgotten that people use streaming instead of piracy because it can be slightly more convenient.

      Now there are too many and they all need to push up the price.

    38. MeenaBeti on

      It’s the people that pay for this AND Disney+ AND Amazon that baffles me. Thats like £30 month – can’t have time to watch it all surely.

    40. moose_lamp on

      I was on the Premium plan but felt ripped off. I’m now using the plan with ads and honestly it’s worth it. £4.99 a month (for now) and there’s really not that many ads and they don’t annoy me. Actually feels like good value. Give it a try
