Here comes another Netflix price hike - The Verge

Netflix is getting another price increase. As part of the streamer’s third quarter earnings results, Netflix announced that starting today, users on its $9.99 per month Basic plan will now have to pay $11.99, and those paying $19.99 per month for Premium will have to pay $22.99. Netflix’s $6.99 ad-supported plan and $15.49 Standard tier will stay the same price.

Damn. $20 was pushing it. $23 feels over the edge just to get 4K quality out of the TV we own. But that’s easy for me to say as the relatively light TV watcher of my wife and me.

@jarrod I literally just switched to the Basic plan because of this. Our family won’t notice the difference with 4K vs HD. Q

@jarrod I mean if it were up to me, I’d cancel too. There anything compelling for me to watch and really, I have no time.

@jaytorres Haha, I think we’re convincing each other. Now I’m thinking your approach is best. Downgrade the quality, see if I hear about it from my better half, and if not, we’re saving a bunch of money. I watch things on Netflix so infrequently that I can look past the horror of 1080 on a 4K screen. 😜

@jarrod I’ll wait to hear if I get any comments from my family about the Netflix quality. (I doubt it 🤣)
