Is now really the time to be doing this? I guess they are hoping people will be desperate for stuff they haven’t already watched when the programming dries up from the strikes.

Also, almost $20 a month for Hulu? Get real.

It could backfire when they themselves run out of new content. Charging a premium for older content seems like a poor business decision.

Disney+ ain’t worth $10 a month, much less $14. Guess I’m going to be saving some money when I cancel. What these streaming companies don’t understand it that we have lots of them because they’re cheap. If you raise the prices of all of them then we’ll just choose one of two and they’re all going to be less profitable.

Yea for sure, however if they went from a user paying from $5 into $10, and then later $10 to now $20, now they just need 1 user for the price of many.

Also, despite a short-term wave of rage-drops from their service, they know they’ll eventually get a new wave of users later on who never knew anything different and the cycle continues.

Of course they do this incrementally so they don’t lose out too much of their base, but all of the services are going up. It’s going to continue to happen and probably quicker than some people realize. It’s happening everywhere

A lot of companies are trying to boil the frog. This frog has noticed.

Netflix is doing well after all their price increases, password sharing crackdowns, and canceling all of their shows.

I just fired up Tdarr and already squeezed 2TB out of my movies and I’m only half way through. TV shows should net me the same if not more. Lots of room without even buying new storage.

This is why they’re starting to release episodes for shows one at a time, slowly.
