Netflix: when a rate increase is a savings....????

[MarkinPhx]

By the end of June I'll be subscribing to MGM+ and Apple TV for one or two months so I can (somewhat) bingewatch From and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

Thank you for reminding me about From. I need to catchup on that show sometime. I did pay for the 4K plan for both HBO and Netflix for awhile, but no longer. I don't notice much of a difference to pay the extra cost. I do have Paramount Plus only because it is an option available because I am a Walmart Plus member. The choice is either that or Peacock and I can change every two months.

I just noticed that Nathan originally posted this two years ago. Two hikes since that time ! I do agree that Netflix probably has the most content. I do agree with you about Prime. It's hard to figure out sometimes what is actually available on Prime compared to what is available if you decide to subscribe to another service via Prime.

I keep my subscription to Howdy going. It's Roku's new paid service and is only $2.99 a month. Most of the content is old and obscure but once in awhile I do find a hidden gem which justifies the cost.

Yes...that too. I meant to mention that Prime's interface has never been good, though it's a bit better than years ago. I subscribed to a service through Prime once. I'll never do that again. I'll go straight to the original platform. I tried to subscribe to Howdy, just to see if the content was worth it and if not planned to drop it within a month or two. I tried doing it on the computer and got a notice saying they didn't recognize my login information (which I know is correct). Tried a couple of times and said forget it. I was able to view part of their catalog, however. Nothing compelling and much of it is old stuff I've seen or am not interested in seeing.

@MarkinPhx Re: From reminder. You're welcome, of course.

This is really disgusting...

Netflix currently operates under a dual-leadership model with two Co-CEOs, Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters. For the 2025 fiscal year, they each earned total compensation packages worth more than $53 million.

We have Netflix but watch PrimeVideo mostly. Maybe it's time to "86" Netflix.

Please don't indicate you are going to "86" anything in today's environment!
