    The executives write, “As we invest in and improve Netflix, we’ll occasionally ask our members to pay a little extra to reflect those improvements.” Netflix raised the prices of its Basic and Premium plans last year.

    Earlier today, Netflix made the surprise announcement that it struck a 10-year deal to air the WWE’s Monday Night Raw. The $5 billion deal will bring the live weekly show to streaming after over three decades of airing on linear television.

    What if I don't give a duck you just spent $5B on content I don't care about? Don't ask me to increase my fees.

      Such corpo speak: "we'll occasionally ask"....

      Will you ever occasionally lower your rates back down? If not, that's not " occasionally asking" your beloved members for something. That's just raising your rates because you think you can.

    I’m in Europe and Netflix just cancelled my account. They finally thought that it’s not okay for me to have a Turkish subscription and only watching from countries outside of Turkiye. Oh well, saving $6/month for the premium plan, getting the stuff I want to watch from the interwebs and maybe do some crazy shit like reading a book. I’m now waiting for the basic plans to be phased out everywhere. Curious to see if this is a clever move
