Post title is wrong. Article title is "Netflix Raising U.S. Prices for Second Time in Less Than Two Years." (There's been no correction....maybe variety ninja-edited?)

  Isn't "Less than Two Years" just "One Year"?

    No, it can be one year and two months, for example. The last price hike was in January 2025 [0]. [0] https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/netflix-price-hike-ad-plan-2025-1236280428/ https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/netflix-price-hike-ad-plan-...

    600 days is less than two years, while not being one year. (“Fewer than two years” would mean one or zero years, but… don’t write that)

    It has been more than one year since the last price increase. So it is inaccurate to say “second time in a year” (calendar or otherwise).

I cancelled my subscription today, before I even noticed the news about this price increase. These subscriptions are a weight around every consumers neck and as the cost of every day goods increases they are the easiest to cut. Most of my media consumption has moved to youtube or patreon. I feel much better about supporting smaller groups of folks still making media than Netflix and the fact that they put out most of their content onto youtube for non-paying patreon members means I can share with my friends and family. Amazon prime video I keep around because I still have prime, but they are on a very thin ice. If I get one more package that is clearly a return or another product entirely then I'm cancelling prime. Crunchy roll is also on thin ice because of the AI subtitles controversy and continual price increases with no improvement in the quality of the content being produced.

The crap that they produce must be financed somehow

Netflix won the streaming wars, so now it's time to collect.
