The major reason the price increased and will increase across all these services is all these jabronies like @alarson just sharing every account imaginable. If people legit paid their own way towards content than people wouldn’t complain as much.
Netflix Sends Emails to Subscribers They No Longer Want

So now that we’ve let those losers go the rest of us will enjoy lower prices!
I'm guessing they don't care who is doing it at the moment and they're staggering accounts to not overwhelm customer support.
Never got the email and my parents who own the account didn't either. It just gave my sister and I a prompt to have parents verify and they would be charged 7.99 unless I log in from their house once a month.
You know it's a trend that everything keeps getting more expensive and it's been shown that it doesn't correlate 1:1 with cost and inflation. It's corporate greed as well.
This is a pretty fair article that looks into things from both sides of the aisle.
Interesting they decided the "raise consumer prices" route as opposed to the "control costs" route. I mean maybe spending in excess of $1.3 BILLION on this "top tier" catalog was not the greatest business decision... but you're right I'm sure it was the $8 shared password accounts which was the real concern of shareholders and impact on the bottom line.
Netflix's 14 Most Expensive Original Movies Ever Made
It is hard to be stingy when making a movie these days. Here's a list of the most expensive Netflix original movies.
Thanks!Netflix is easy to use when on the go or traveling. Use Netflix as usual to watch on your portable devices - like a tablet, laptop, or mobile phone - or sign into a new TV, like at a hotel or a holiday rental.
Second home or frequent travel to the same location
If you have a second home or travel frequently to the same location, follow these steps:
- From the main place you watch Netflix, connect to the internet and open the Netflix app on your mobile device(s) once a month. Then take the same steps when you arrive at your second location to continue watching Netflix without interruption.

Actually they recently announced something like $250 million of cost cutting for calendar or fiscal year 2023.Interesting they decided the "raise consumer prices" route as opposed to the "control costs" route.

5 of the movies on that list were really good.
Also, those prices aren’t bad for the respective movies. Go look at production costs alone (not including marketing and delivery) for most theatre releases as those prices are below average.
whoa now, I know you're in the middle of simping for Netflix but let's not get crazy.
I’m not simping anything, just saying that I find paying for a service I find to have good content to be worth it. To each their own.
Army of the dead was good.
The Mitchell’s vs the machines was a great family movie.
Triple frontier was above average, though not great.
6 underground was really good action flick.
Red notice was really good and great cast.
The gray man was a good action flick with decent cast.
All of them were good for the target audience, 18-40 yo males.

Or building a library full of unfinished shows because they cancel everything after just a couple seasons without letting them have a proper conclusion
You and I have much different ratings systems. I thought most of those movies absolutely sucked.
Mitchell's was good, and I heard the Irishman was good but never watched it, the others....
Theatre releases get to charge PER VIEWING and then again upon commercial release - that is not the Netflix business model. How would those theatres/studios do under a Netflix model where a "user" is allowed unlimited viewings for the price of a single ticket per month? A household is allowed to attend at the same price point for the same duration?
Also, interesting you say 50% were "good" yet in the first 7 pages of this thread not a single user posted a comment along the lines of "I signed up for Netflix to watch X movie" from said list (or any list for that matter) - Netflix attracts subscribers for their series, not their films. People watch/pay for Netflix because they want HOURS of entertainment, not 90-minutes. Why does HBOMax seem to have such success despite no "exclusive" $100M - $200M budget movies in their catalog? Have you rewatched any of the 50% hit rate movies? Re-upped your sub for a new release movie?
Netflix execs/leadership appear to me to have strayed away from what actually made them successful - i.e. "pull" demand for their series; and instead tried to "push" movie content to the customers. My guess is to stroke their ego and "prove streamers belong".
Last point. You say they've announced "cost cutting $250M" (i.e. lazily reducing headcount) - if they'd have only made the decent 50% of movies on the list I provided they'd have saved twice the amount without "cutting" a single headcount. Alternatively, if the budgets for those movies were reigned in 10% that's 50% of their announced savings - again without "slashing headcount".
My entire point is there is a widespread lack of leadership at these corporations who don't want to admit when they strayed from the path which brought them success, because in their minds "they can do no wrong". This same mindset is what led Kodak to refuse to release the digital camera for over a decade because "they make money on film processing" - how'd that work out for Kodak? Pride clouded their vision for what the consumer wanted and they continued to "push" what they thought was best on the consumer.
Maybe Netflix pivots and survives, or maybe this is the beginning of the end. Will be a fascinating business case to follow either way.
I said most. I loved Mitchell’s. Irishman is a movie that needed somebody to put the brakes on. It’s way too long.
Ohhh……..hey baby, got a surprise, a big surprise, for you when you check your DMs.
When I'm chillin on the couch on a Friday night, I don't want to use my brain a ton when watching a movie. Give me an action, thriller, adventure, or horror flick that entertains. While not at the level of most movies I'd pay for, they did enough to entertain at a huge discount to a night at the theatre.
We pay to go see a LOT of movies - probably 20 per year - and I don't expect to get the same level of production on a $20/mo subscription as I do a $100 per family film.
