There are less and less reasons to renew my membership each month!

Frankly, once I saw the prices rise $10/month -> $20/month I cancelled.

Plus, seeing shows like friends and breaking bad being replaced by big mouth and other Netflix content I find just gross (and not replacing it with content I enjoy). I cancelled. I was enjoying ozarks, and the comedy specials, but not at $180-$240/year and most of the comedy specials have become increasingly less interesting (when they came out at all — thanks lockdowns).

I think at lower prices they could honestly cover more niches because people were willing to pay for their interest (maybe 5% of the content). As the price increases more people don’t think that 5% is good enough for the price. And everyone has a different percent of content they like.

Imo this makes Netflix much more prone to lose customers when rising prices.

This is even more obnoxious because a lot of people who watch Netflix are younger. They travel, they go to school, etc.
