Does anyone still use Netflix..?

 

[MackemBob]

Ah well.

 

[archiesdad]

They've been talking about it for years.

 

[mikem]

Unsurprising timing when they’ve just put the price up 10%.

(Saying they want to ‘deliver even more value’ for members…welcome to the era of post-truth price rises.)

Bastards we share me brother in laws he also shares it with his 2 kids who live in their own homes.

Does anyone still use Netflix..?

Yes, millions and millions. Weird question tbh.

 

[Space Hopper]

I forgot my Netflix password.

Does anyone on here remember it?

I hate this “rule the world” mentality these large tech firms have.

I think one person should sign up and just piggy back the rest of the world on for a few dollars a month. Mark it up by 50 cents and become a multi millionaire in a month.

Counter productive. I pay for the most expensive plan so that the kids can use it when they're at my mums or nanas. If they make that impossible I'd just go down to the cheapest account and I imagine loads of people will do the same

Share price was down 36% at one point today, haven't checked since. They lost 700k subscriptions from Russia, but were still around 2m short of their target new subscribers iirc
