Netflix is starting to raise prices in some countries
 

Changes in Italy and Spain are now being rolled-out.



This is a warning in case the UK joins.



[Netflix is starting to raise prices in
some countries as growth spurred
by its crackdown on password
sharing starts to fade.
The film and TV streaming giant said
it had already lifted subscription fees
in Japan and parts of Europe
as well as the Middle East and Africa
over the last month.

Changes in Italy and Spain are now being rolled-out.

In its latest results, Netflix announced
that it had added 5.1 million subscribers
between July and September - ahead of
forecasts but the smallest gain in
more than a year.
The company is under pressure to show
investors what will power growth
in the years ahead, as its already massive
reach makes finding new subscribers more difficult.

The last time Netflix saw signs of
slowdown, in 2022, it launched measures
to stop password sharing and said it would
offer a new streaming option with advertisements.
The crackdown unleashed a new wave of growth.
The firm has added more than 45 million
new members since last year and has
282 million subscribers globally.
Analysts also expect advertisements
to eventually become big business for Netflix.
For now, however, Netflix has said
it remains "early days" and warned
it did not expect it to start driving
growth until next year, despite many
subscribers opting for the ad-supported plan.

The plan, which is the company's least
expensive option, accounted for 50% of
new sign-ups in the places where it is offered
in the most recent quarter, Netflix said.
Even without a boost from advertising,
Netflix said revenue in the July-September
period was up 15% compared with the
same period last year, to more than
$9.8bn (£7.5bn).
Profit also rose from $1.6bn in the same period
last year to $2.3bn.
Netflix last raised prices in the UK and US in 2023
but that only affected certain plans.
It has left the price of its popular "standard plan"
without adverts untouched since 2022.
In the past, the company has sometimes
experimented with pricing in smaller countries
before making changes in major markets,
such as the US and UK.
Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at
Hargreaves Lansdown,
said Netflix's strong financial position
put the firm in a position to keep
spending money to make
new hits - the key if it hopes
to raise prices without backlash.

"This is inherently a fickle market,
with consumers happy to
swap streamer if they don’t think
they’re getting value," he said.]

uk prices were already higher than the rest of europe

despite also losing rights for quite a ****load of content :laugh:


only thing they have full rights on is their originals



i mean

Sony have that special deal with Disney+


SkyShowtime got production companies like Universal, Paramount


HBO Max having full rights on the DC content




so if Netflix wants to bring more content in, its gotta cost a lot to ''loan'' it for a while, that's why prices will go up quite a whole lot


for 2 streams - 13.99 (where Disney+ have that exact price for 4 streams premium)

for 4 streams - 18.99 (one of the most expensive streaming services for 4 streams i think currently)



+ Netflix also isn't looking that fresh anymore in terms of international content, with Disney+ also having picked up on that idea, now with new spanish, dutch, german original series content for the first time + Disney outslayed Netflix by far in this years award events, with many more nominations than the latter



while HBO Max is doing better than before now with the addition of Discovery+/TLC/Investigation Discovery/HGTV content + also having took full advantage of streaming everything from Paris 2024 live on their service

OK

I've never used it

It is rather splendid

I can't remember the last time I paid to see a movie. Probably about 15 years ago when I used to rent DVDs.

I know all the places where you can see all the Neflix content and the new movies, free. :D

Like lots of people I guess.:smug:

i have heard about these illegal ways with a firestick

Its not something I would entertain
