Netflix Raises Prices Including First Hike on Ad-Supported Tier
Netflix is increasing subscription prices in the U.S. -- including the first hike on its ad-supported plan.
On Tuesday, the company said ad-supported plans in Q4 accounted for over 55% of sign-ups in its ads countries and membership on the ads plan grew nearly 30% quarter over quarter.
I'm surprised to hear this plan represents half of new subscriptions. Its probably just that most people willing to pay for full plans were already subscribed but its still surprising.
It really is, paying for ads feels so wrong I can’t fathom doing it.
I've learned when Americans have a choice between going without or paying more, they'll happily bend over and go into poverty instead of cancelling
Did they say how many new subscriptions they have and whether people who switched from full price to ads count as new subs?
How curious, torrent and emule have not increased their price at all
