One of the perks you get with T-Mobile US is free (or heavily subsidized) Netflix. I suspect we're not the only ones who would've cancelled our subscription if not for this deal.

- lotsofpulp 5y agoI think we will see a lot of bundling by media sellers to engage in price discrimination and price obfuscation. ATT unlimited mobile network plans can get you HBO Max thrown in, Amazon Prime includes Prime Video, Apple One bundles include Apple TV+. Different people have different amounts they are willing to pay for content, and there is zero marginal cost to serve it to them for the content's owner. The question is how can the content owner get the most each individual is willing to pay for the same content. Bundling it with infrastructure like mobile network is a good way, as well as subsidizing it with credit card offers, etc.
- timmytokyo 5y agoT-Mobile subsidizes Netflix. I was paying $3 per month for Netflix. This morning I got a text from T-Mobile warning me that they were about to start charging $4.50 a month. After getting the text, I thought about how often I watch Netflix and realized I haven't watched a single thing in the past month. Subscription is now cancelled. Price hikes, lack of quality content, and increased competition are going to hurt Netflix in the long run. I find myself watching quality shows on Apple TV+ and HBO Max.
- cglong 5y agoI think it depends on the Netflix plan you choose; we picked the lowest level (SD resolution?) and it's free for us. Agree that the constant price increases is the last thing they need right now.
