I have friends who were outraged at Netflix price increase. And I mean serious outrage.
I did notice that the ones who were really outraged are running tight on money. One of them works and goes to school full time so an extra $8/month after tuition, rent, even though it's marginal seems like a LOT and for no additional benefit.
- Klinky 15y agoI think a lot of the outrage came from people learning about the price increase, learning that Starz was going away & then on top of that learning that Netflix was going to destroy the convenience aspect by separating the services. Regardless of the costs, it just seems like Netflix kept eroding the value of their service while asking more for it. Plus how they relayed this information seemed like a mix between condescending & manic.
- sage_joch 15y agoOutrage seems like a funny response to a price increase for a no-lock-in, non-essential entertainment service.
- HaloZero 15y agoYeah, that's what I said. People take stuff for granted sometimes.
- jayzee 15y agoI canceled my subscription. Not because of the price increase but the cavalier manner in which the increase was communicated. The presumptuous email re: the increase really pissed me off. It has also made more more careful with communications with our user-base.
