Neflix About to Go Up in Price Again (for some users)

[thc1967]

Netflix is worth subscribing to for one month per year. Watch all the series you want for the month, then cancel and wait a year.

There simply isn't enough compelling content to keep me interested year-round. Heck, I was looking for a good movie the other weekend and the very best thing I could find was Starship Troopers. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie and I'm a huge Dina Meyer fan, but that movie is, what, 20 years old?

Yeah, it's worth $10 a month, one month per year.

I kind of agree but I have a kid and there's a lot there for him.
The "new releases" are never new...

My 6 year-old stepson has figured out how to use the smart TV remote to get his Netflix shows. He's got his own profile that's "Kids Only." Our weekend mornings have never been so peaceful when he's not at his dad's.

Lately when I go on Netflix to find a movie to watch, I am quite dissapointed. Most shows that have interesting cover art are 1 to 2 stars. 4 and 5 star movies are almost non existent.

I never look at those ratings. Why do I care what other Netflix users that choose to put in a rating care?

This used to be the case 2-3 years ago. These days Netflix updates/releases new programming once a month. With more and more "Netflix Originals" and season updates for current tv series, there's always something new to watch. If you use Netflix mainly for movies than yeah, you're going to be disappointed for sure. While we do watch they occasional movie, our Netflix viewing mainly consists of tv shows & documentaries. IMO Prime offers a better selection of movies than Netflix does.

Actually, more often than not they are pretty spot on. Much moreso than say Rotten Tomatoes. I'll take user reviews over critics reviews any day.

Paying $9.99/month doesn't even make me flinch. That price still retains its value proposition. Now had they gone to $14.99 instead I'd probably cancel it, but I'd miss having it for sure.

With Dish most of my paid movies are less expensive in hd than sd and many hd on demand titles are free but $3 and up for their sd versions.
I just finished my free month of Netflix at the $9.99 option (hd and 2 devices) but they offered me a higher version for $11.99 that included ultra hd (whatever that is) and up to 4 devices at once. Since my daughters use it often at the same time I don't mind paying a couple bucks more for the extra device but if they lose interest I'll just cancel the whole thing anyway.

Still a matter of opinion of someone other than myself. As someone who worked at movie theaters for years when I was younger, including managing a smaller theater that got a lot of independent and art films, my opinions on movies differ greatly from the majority of the general public. While I'll take those ratings into some consideration, I still won't let a low rating decide for me whether or not to give a movie a try. I may start it and then stop watching well before the end credits some times, but I've found plenty of films that I enjoyed that had low ratings by the general user base.

It looks not good on my older 1080 and is no better on my 4K; I'll stick with HD or 4K. What I like is the amount of 4K content Netflix offers. I hope they would get another plan that allowed HD and 4K with only one TV at one time for us single users.

Netflix announced last year that they are working on re-encoding their whole library that will reduce users bandwidth by 20%. That's pretty significant for those of us that binge the crap out of Netflix and for those with data caps.

I watched 2 series that were pretty good - Sense8 and Daredevil. None of the others appealed to me. Good news is, both have a second season on the way so Netflix will get another month worth of subscription out of my wallet this year.

I really like the company, especially from a corporate citizenship and taking care of their people perspective. I would love a reason to spend more with them.
