The Wall Street Journalprovided the latest on what Netflix’s plans are shortly. “Netflix plans to raise the price of its ad-free service a few months after the continuing Hollywood actors strike ends, the latest in a series of recent price increases by the country’s largest streaming platforms,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The streaming service is discussing raising prices in several markets globally but will likely begin with the U.S. and Canada, according to people familiar with the matter. It couldn’t be learned how much Netflix will raise prices by or when exactly the new prices will take effect.”
Netflix effectively changed the gamewhen it invented the notion of a streaming service. Beforehand, people would go out to rent movies or TV Shows from the likes of Blockbuster or any local rental store. Netflix made it so that people could not only have that right in front of them but ( were they interested in watching a TV show) they could watch as much as they wanted without having to stop. The absence of ads made the experience better. Having that much control at their fingertips made getting a Netflix account all the more appealing, and it’s why other entertainment conglomerates more or less borrowed their idea for their benefit shortly after the phenomenon spread.
While Netflix has allowed viewers to stream popular shows for as long as they’d like, it’s also given their customers quite a bit of original content over the years. FromThe Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidttothe popularStranger ThingstoOzark, Netflix has shown that it can make good content for its viewers. Sure, not every show or movie Netflix made has been a hit, but it’s still well-received enough to the point where it continues to make more. Netflix has even delved into additional subjects like true crime (Making a Murderer) and sports (Untold).
