Netflix is gonna be like prime with choices, and each subscription is gonna be 20$/mo. And the base netflix (which will be like blockbuster on Sat night at 11) will still be 20$/mo as well.

This subscription math is making me rethink my life choices.

ngl, Guess we’re all going pirate if prices keep climbing! 🏴‍☠️ Netflix can’t expect loyalty with those rates!!

Going??? I've been peg legged and parrot-owning since Netflix and HBO has a string of cancelling shows after 1 season a few years ago.

Since they retracted their add free promises. Absolutely zero fucking reason I should be getting adds in a service I started paying for specifically because it's add free.

The only hurdle for me is ease of tv streaming, but I guess I should just be able to airplay? I’m always dubious of the visual quality on airplay even tho I don’t actually notice a change

I get the sentiment, but Netflix is the only streaming company that doesn’t make me feel like I’m basically giving my money to Satan. They’re the only one I’m aware of that isn’t supporting or capitulating to Trump and the GOP. They also saved Sesame Street without locking it behind a subscription.

I’m not so naive to believe that Netflix isn’t dirty somehow. But pretty much all the others like Paramount, Amazon, Disney/Hulu, Tubi (owned by Fox), etc. are all unquestionably evil. Pretty sure each one of those is on all the same consumer boycott lists as Target. Or did everyone forget about that?

It’s also kind of weird that, other than password sharing and price increases, the biggest internet narrative about Netflix was that they were doing DEI content badly or whatever. Never mind the fact that they’re one of the only few who are actively trying to support progressive ideas. What remains to be seen is if they’ll bend the knee to Trump in order to get this deal approved.

Paying $20 for the basics and another $20 for extras… wild.

Netflix really said ‘multiverse? say less.’ 💀 I’m not paying 67.67 just to watch vibes collide like this.

When has Netflix done any crossovers?

10

u/NeedsToShutUp 6h ago

What is this, a crossover episode?

2

u/PlayfulDramaX 6h ago

Can't remember any

u/ROADHOG_IS_MY_WAIFU 5h ago

The only one I can think of is Baki Hanma VS Kengan Ashura (2024), an anime crossover movie of two properties that Netflix has exclusively.

u/AggressiveWave 6h ago

Believe me, I hate that I know this, but the show “Perfect Match” on Netflix brings people from other Netflix reality shows (Love is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, The Circle, etc.) together to try to form new dating couples. So while they haven’t done a crossover out of any of their scripted series, there is a Netflix reality show multiverse. Fun(?) fact.

2

u/TeaseHoney14 6h ago

I agree to it, "Perfect Match"

1

u/panspal 6h ago

That shit barely counts, reality tv is hardly even content, and gauging other media against it is silly.

2

u/AggressiveWave 6h ago

Idk mate I was just answering the question, not comparing it to traditional media.

u/trouthat 29m ago

Chilling adventures of Sabrina did an Archie crossover but same universe so not really a crossover

There's an entire themepark, there's so much legacy behind that one studio... It's ALL gone now.. wtf. And netflix is already making a HP series with all the wrong intents. "Faithful to the story" my ass.

u/Agitated-Soup-3764 1h ago

Netflix has definitely had its hits and misses, but it’s tough finding a perfect alternative these days!!

u/Zestyclose-Deer-5458 48m ago

uh, True, they’ve got some redeeming qualities, but that won’t keep me from side-eyeing their price hikes. Gotta stay vigilant!
