I joined the Plex server plan, it's better and works everywhere and I don't get price increases or ads
All the shows that I like I've been buying DVD or Blu-rays for, and then I rip them and put them on my Plex server. Just so I can watch some anytime, and not potentially damage the discs.
I don't have to worry about geofencing, Don't have to worry about a price change ever, Don't have to deal with commercials, Don't have to think if the shows that I like are going to disappear and maybe show up on a different provider, and generally higher quality audio and video.
Would it just be easier to use something like iTunes for movies/shows?

We now have a collection of maybe 400 DVDs (not pirated, legally purchased). Sure, everything we watch is reruns, but there are no commercials.

Netflix has no way to continue growing aside from increasing prices. That is a bad sign. They will just keep squeezing people. Your best bet is to stop subscribing.
The shareholders are seeking to juice the company and throw it away as usual. Users need to see the writing on the wall and move on.
Damn near every tech company and major utility provider has no way of growing aside from squeezing.
No matter where you turn you will be getting squeezed, and it'll just get worse every year that regulations don't catch up.
And if the U.S. has it's way, institutional regulation will be a thing of the past as a new wave of unchecked corporate oligarchy begins. And since the U.S's biggest export is crazy, it'll just spread....
Making the future more grim.

Also, on the "standard with ads" tier, they've removed the ability to chromecast.
