Do people expect the price to go down?
I'm confused
Actually yeah that would be great. After all, Netflix is raking in more profit than ever (this chart represents earnings after expenses are removed):
That's billions. Billions of dollars every year that's just.. extra. Where the fuck are they wasting all this money that requires them to raise prices instead of lowering them?
I mean, we all know it goes to funding the Epstein class and making the world a worse place for everyone else, but it should go towards making their service better and cheaper.
Let's stop normalizing the predatory nature of capitalism, and instead be surprised when people don't expect better.
If people invested $1.50/mo into NFLX stock every month in addition to paying the subscription, it would have net out to be free over the past 10 years.
I’d you can’t beat them, join them. It’s a public investment market.
Saruman was not supposed to be a role model.
Saruman wasn’t supposed to be a role model, true. But neither was the guy complaining about rising prices from his couch while the free market delivered infinite content on demand.
I can hate the game and offer advice on how to play at the same time.
I'd rather do like the French and decapitate them.
No, but back in 2012 no one expected the amount and quality of the content to go down so drastically either.
You’re continuously paying more for less.
They expect to at least get the same service for their money. Instead, it's gotten worse while also getting more expensive.
Peobably to stay the same for longer
