If you don't like the price hikes CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.
Stop with all the belly aching. They cancel all the good shows early anyway. I killed my sub years ago and it's been a great choice.
I cancelled my subscription when they stopped letting you share account login information.
The increase in cancellations was the nail in the coffin for me. But my satisfaction started to decline when they ditched the star rating system. I don’t care how many people want to claim it didn’t work a specific way or wasn’t tailored to you, etc etc. it produced many good recommendation for me with insane accuracy across the whole 5* spectrum. The binary system was, and I assume still is, shit.
Sense 8 and the OA deserved better, non subscriber, happy pirate since.
The OA was so good and then just evaporated.
I don't mind price hikes, because the money spent is still worth it to me (I have like 5 streaming subscriptions), but Netflix is among the worst for just usability.
It's often more difficult to find content on Netflix than it is to just search on my TV and click to the content from there.
Raising prices is fine if your product is competitive enough, but I've considered canceling Netflix just because it kinda sucks to use. Somewhere along the line, they stopped focusing on UX.
