You knew it was coming with all the original content they had been sending out.

"Netflix subscribers in the United States are about to see a price hike across all subscription tiers.

The service’s most popular plan will increase from $11 to $13 per month for HD streaming. Netflix’s most expensive plan, which offers 4K content and up to four simultaneous streams on different devices, will increase from $14 to $16. And the service’s basic plan, which doesn’t offer HD, will raise from $8 to $9.

These price hikes will affect all new subscribers immediately, according to AP, with current subscribers set to experience the hike over the next three months.?

I get its still a good deal, but at some point it's going to stop being a good deal with Fox and Disney set to pull all of their content.

I was the same way with Amazon Prime and did not renew. I still order from there but the shipments are maybe 2 days later.

They have a massive amount of debt. Its amazing the price isn't higher.

Actually, after that article (2017) they took on another 2 billion in debt to make even more content and expand to Europe. I would say thought, Netflix is too big to fail.

So, when you say that, and I know you love Plex, is this legal content or gray area content?

The article is old but there's no way they cleared that debt. With the new $2 billion they recently took on it has to be at least $15 billion total today.

CAD, while I like plex, what are you talking about here? How do you have netflix content on plex? I think I'm connected to you and I'm unsure of what you're referring to.

there are multiple ways to use plex lol

you are talking about downloading content on your own, through torrent or what ever. Then uploading it to you own personal plex for your home

you can also connect to someone hosting their own media server and sharing it through plex

I'm more concerned about this new AI and if my kids won't be able to access Netflix when they're at their grandparents.

You can rip Redbox movies, find torrents or share libraries with friends or all 3.

Plex also works with otA antennas so you can DVR live TV

Not surprised the way they waste money on shite like Amy Schumer specials. No way they got their return on investment on that.
