    Not making enough more money for shareholders, raise the price, people leave, lose profits, not making enough money for share holders, raise the price, people leave, lose profits… Eventually it’ll be $200 and the only thing you can watch is Bojack Horseman because every IP has its own streaming service.

    $18/month would be a good deal if they still had all the content they used to have, but they’ve been removing content in favour of their own shows for a long time now. It sucks. You used to be able to find practically anything on Netflix, and if they didn’t have it available for streaming, they’d lend you a DVD (included in the subscription price).

    That and the $18/month tier only goes up to 1080p. In 2025, you still need to pay more for 4k content?? It used to be 720p though, so I guess it’s not all bad.
