No no no, their monkeys brain will be like:
>>Oh shit our subscription number are plummeting, what should we do???
>> we still have some left, they must be very loyal, try increasing the price to extract more from them and make it harder for them to cancel
>> but people gona get mad at us?
>>nah they too busy blaming the politicians for the inflation, also we need to lobby more to get better tax break…

This tactic has been working for Netflix. I left, but I still see people on this app saying “I watch it all the time so it’s worth it for me”

Thats the thing. If they are watching it a lot, its worth it. Buying a movie or renting 4 or 5 movies can cost 1 month subscription of netflix. Not everyone wants to set sail.

I dont agree with the price hikes, but people have their own spending limits.

I don’t sail the seas. I rotate services and I go for the cheap plan (hate ads, but not paying over $20). When there’s something I want to see on Netflix, I subscribe for a month at $9. I used to give them $20 monthly in perpetuity. I probably still would if they wouldn’t have cut off my parents and sister from using my account. Now they even make it hard to watch on my other devices. Ruining the customer experience to be greedy

What's funny is how many are getting rid of annual. That's encouraging roaming between services IMHO

I cancelled netflix because the content became so bad. I would be fine paying the price if I enjoyed the content.

Yep lmao I think in my humble opinion they just push it until a lot of people start complaining lol. Reminds me of the videogame cities : Skylines

ATnT is the best example every time they lost customers their solution was raise prices.

Then it took them 5 years to realize that keep raising prices every year apparently didn't result in new customers for some bizzare reason.

You hallucinating an argument is the saddest thing I’ve see on here today.

Here’s reality

Disney+ & Hulu Duo Basic (With Ads): $12.99 / month

$6.50 a month is cheaper than what this chart says it cost before they got “greedy”

So my price has actually decreased.

Sorry to interrupt your dopamine and cortisol binge.

So you paying the price… and also watching adv and be happy with it?
Some people just want to defend the big corp for their greed…
