edit to add: following is totally US-centric! Like the blog post I think? I was not familiar with how much Netflix costs these days, either the subscription or extra sharing slots. Pasted here in case it's helpful. Sorry if this is redundant, didn't find with ctrl-f. Standard with ads: $6.99 / month Basic: $9.99 / month Standard: $15.49 / month (extra member slots\* can be added for $7.99 each / month) Premium: $19.99 / month (extra member slots\* can be added for $7.99 each / month) Note that on Standard, when they say "extra member slots" it's really "extra member slot" because there's a limit of 1 there and a limit of 2 on Premium.

"standard with ads" is fine, but I wish Netflix would stop filling the other plans with ads too then. I have premium at the moment (how long that lasts depends on how annoying they become when they start cracking down on what they think my "household" is) and the ads are still getting out of hand.

    So far it's been mostly ads for other netflix shows, but they are everywhere. Full screen ads you have to click through to even get to the catalogue, a giant ad at the top you have to scroll past, ads taking up multiple rows as you scroll through their options, the ads that play in the middle of a show if you pause the screen for more than a few seconds, the ads that play as soon as the credits start rolling (even when there's still content), etc.

I remember them increasing prices for those who were sharing accounts. The limit was the number of streams you can have (at different locations). what are they doing now that is different? and how does that affect me with 4 streams?

$7.99?? They're doing $4,60 here, and yes, that article is for US based, however they've done more for other countries. Example, Sweden: https://about.netflix.com/en/news/update-on-sharing-may-se https://about.netflix.com/en/news/update-on-sharing-may-se

Hey, for once the UK isn't getting screwed! (Premium is £15.99, which is $19.87)
