also due to them raising prices and getting rid of the cheapest ad-free plan.
but gotta pay for terrible wwe programming somehow, i guess.
I shudder to think what they come up with next when the line won't sufficiently go up
My Netflix subscription ran from 2002 through May 2023. They might be making more, but it's not coming from my wallet.
Well as long as people watch the ads and pay for the service, why would they stop
Update: Netflix also dropping lowest cost ad-free plan. They reeeaaaally want you to pay for ads.
I did my part. As soon as they started messing around with making me log in and provide security codes every month for TVs on different networks, I cancelled.
If you make your paid product more inconvenient than piracy, I’m gonna set sail.
Sailing is so much better than managing when to stop and continue payment for the dozens of streaming services.
Streaming was great because it was easy relatively customer friendly. Though those days are behind me but it sure looks like I need to dust off the ol' sails.
not to mention having to remember which app has which shows/movies at any given time.
Short term gain for long term loss
I hope you are right, but I think you are wrong. There is a long history now of people tolerating ads for services they like.
They've lost my business altogether, and I had been a member since the mailed DVD days.
Plus the content they produce is nearly shovelware.
They really screwed themselves over long term with so many cancellations. Would've been better to give shows something like a 2 episode mini season to wrap stuff up.
It was so exciting getting those red envelopes in the mail…
